“…Beyond SRP and APP, other populations known to play important roles in metal corrosion in the field include Sulfur-Oxidizing Prokaryotes (SOP), Iron-Reducing Prokaryotes (IRP), Iron-Oxidizing Prokaryotes (IOP), Non-SRP Sulfide-Producing Prokaryotes (SPP) and Methanogenic Archaea (MA), among others (Figure 1) (Liu et al, 2019;Kleinbub et al, 2021;Zaidi et al, 2021). In the praxis, monitoring many microbial groups is unfeasible and therefore it is important to establish a handful of microbes that can be routinely monitored, in a sense, acting as proxy for the overall microbial threat.…”

“…It has been calculated that approximately 20% of the cost of all failures caused by corrosion are consequence of microbial activity (Maxwell et al, 2004;Fatah et al, 2013;Sachan and Singh, 2020;Lavanya, 2021). Still, analysts argue that many MICrelated failures remain unreported due to limitations in field diagnostics and thus the cost of their environmental impact might also be underestimated (Brauer et al, 2015;Guo et al, 2018;Inaba et al, 2019;Jia et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2019;Little et al, 2020;Shi et al, 2020;Stamps et al, 2020;Chatterjee et al, 2021;Kleinbub et al, 2021;Lou et al, 2021;Omar et al, 2021;Zaidi et al, 2021).…”

Microorganisms have evolved to inhabit virtually all environments on the planet, from oceanic hot-seeps to pipelines transporting crude and refined hydrocarbons. Often microbial colonization of man-made structures results in the reduction of their service life requiring preemptive or corrective human intervention. Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is caused by a set of intricate bioelectrochemical interactions between a diverse group of microorganisms and metallic surfaces. The complexity of MIC microbiomes and their mechanisms as well as the logistics constraints of industrial facilities are factors to consider when choosing suitable analytical methods for MIC monitoring. These generally reflect only a partial view of the phenomenon and in consequence, might lead to ineffective mitigation measures. This paper acknowledges the discrepancies between the fieldwork for MIC monitoring and the currently available technological advancements. It also highlights the most pressing issues that operators have in the field in light of the diversity of the microbial key players present in corrosive microbiomes. Finally, it compiles and outlines a strategy for the integration of novel molecular approaches aiming for a practical and accurate assessment of the microbial threat.
