“…Atalah et al conducted a characterization of EPS from a thermophilic consortium isolated from a corroded airplane engine and found that the polysaccharides are composed mainly of mannose and glucose residues. The predominant protein was surface (S)-layer protein [ 64 ]. The composition of EPS from an unidentified thermophilic SRB strain isolated from the Bohai oilfield in China was dependent on the culture stage.…”

“…The adhesion not only plays an important role in the formation of biofilms, but also increases the possibility of metal corrosion [ 67 ]. Studies described that the adhesion of EPS is related to a S-layer protein, which can act as an adhesive to adjacent cells, thereby further enhancing the aggregation of microorganisms during the formation of biofilms [ 64 , 68 ]. EPS can also increase cell adhesion through hydrophobic forces (primary effect) and/or electrostatic forces (secondary effect) [ 69 ].…”

Microbial cells secrete extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) to adhere to material surfaces, if they get in contact with solid materials such as metals. After phase equilibrium, microorganisms can adhere firmly to the metal surfaces causing metal dissolution and corrosion. Attachment and adhesion of microorganisms via EPS increase the possibility and the rate of metal corrosion. Many components of EPS are electrochemical and redox active, making them closely related to metal corrosion. Functional groups in EPS have specific adsorption ability, causing them to play a key role in biocorrosion. This review emphasizes EPS properties related to metal corrosion and protection and the underlying microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) mechanisms. Future perspectives regarding a comprehensive study of MIC mechanisms and green methodologies for corrosion protection are provided.

“…This led to a deformed and weakened biofilm structure and increased sensitivity to anti-tuberculosis drugs. Lipid content is frequently reported to be higher in biofilms than in planktonic cultures [140][141][142]. The common observation in biofilm EPS is the higher abundance of C16-C18 long-chain fatty acids.…”

“…The common observation in biofilm EPS is the higher abundance of C16-C18 long-chain fatty acids. Over 70% of the total fatty acid in EPS isolated from a thermophilic corrosive consortium belonged to the long-chain C16 species [142]. Long-chain fatty acids are speculated to mediate biofilm structure stability through cross-linking with exoproteins and exopolysaccharides during bacterial adaptation to their microenvironment [140],…”

This graduate study has been a good character-building lesson. Never have I learn so much about my untapped capabilities. I am blessed to have worked with many brilliant minds throughout my research career. A huge appreciation to the many supervisors, and colleagues I have worked with since I was 20. All the good and bad events are the lifetime pointers that have pushed me to be better than yesterday. Thank you to my family and friends who provide me a listening ear when in times of need. Most especially to Myra Dew Baidah Ahmad, who instills grit each time I doubt myself. Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the graduate studies assistance, training opportunities, facilities and funding provided by SCELSE, Interdisciplinary Graduate Programme (IGP), National Research Foundation, and the Ministry of Education (MOE). vTable of Contents Statement of Originality……………………………………………………………………...i Supervisor Declaration Statement………………………………………………………….ii Acknowledgements .
