Effect of Metallurgical Factors on Microbial Adhesion and Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC)
There are many reports which point out the involvement of metallurgical factors, i.e., grain boundaries, precipitation, segregation, solidification structure, etc. on microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Microbial adhesion and biofilm formation w

Preface
Living organisms use electron in various biological reactions for energy conversion and signal transduction. For example, electron transport chain in respiration is well characterized, and biological component, which can transfer electrons, is also identified. In addition, various technologies using these electron-transferring properties have been developed, for example, microbial fuel cells and electrochemical biosensors. On the other hand, novel phenomena related to living organisms and electron have recently been discovered, e.g., novel types of electron bifurcation processes, electrochemically active microorganisms, electrotrophic metabolisms, and metal corrosion by electron-consuming microorganisms. To deeply understand these novel phenomena, we must study using not only traditional biochemical methods, which are biologist friendly, but also electrochemical methods, which are non-friendly for biologists. This book covers the novel findings and latest knowledge related to “l
