Sulfate-reducing bacteria have a significant impact on biocorrosion in various industries, and zinc sorbate has been found to improve their antibacterial activity.
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) have impacted the biocorrosion process for various industrial sectors, especially in the oil and gas industry. The higher stability over extreme conditions is the key parameter for their survival in such envi-ronments. So far, many materials have been tried to minimize or control the growth of SRB. In the present study, an organo-metallic compound of the zinc sorbate (ZS) was successfully synthesized by the simple co-precipitation method and its improved antibacterial activity against SRB. The SRB consortia are enriched from the sub-surface soil sample and identified by 16s rDNA sequencing by targeting the V3-V4 region. The most dominating genera identified with sulfate-reducing capability are Sulfurospirillum (42 %), Shewanella (19 %) Bacteroides (14 %), and Desulfovibrio (8 %). Further biocorrosion experiments are conducted by weight loss methods. Higher corrosion current density (Icorr) and less charge transfer resistance (Rct) are observed for the SRB consortia. Concurrently, higher Rct is kept for the inhibitor-included systems. The slowest release of the sorbate into the medium suppressed the growth of the SRB bacterial cells with 86 +/- 3 % corrosion inhibition efficiency and prevented further corrosion reactions by forming a protective layer over the surface of the carbon steel API 5LX. The surface analysis strongly confirmed that SRB caused pitting corrosion, which has been suppressed in the inhibitor-included systems.
