Microbiologically influenced corrosion of steel in coastal surface seawater contaminated by crude oil

Abstract Petroleum-hydrocarbons spilt in surface seawater may pose potential threats to the corrosion of steel infrastructures. We show that crude oil accelerated steel corrosion mainly by accelerating microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Crude oil led to the dominance of marine oil-degrade...
