Iron Sequestration by Galloyl–Silane Nano Coatings Inhibits Biofilm Formation of <i>Sulfitobacter</i> sp.

Microbially-induced corrosion is the acceleration of corrosion induced by bacterial biofilms. The bacteria in the biofilms oxidize metals on the surface, especially evident with iron, to drive metabolic activity and reduce inorganic species such as nitrates and sulfates. Coatings that prevent the fo...
