| Abstract: | A facultative anaerobic species Serratia marcescens ACE2 isolated from the corrosion products of diesel transporting pipeline in North West, India was identified by 16S rDNA
sequence analysis. The role of Serratia marcesens ACE2 on biodegradation of diesel and its influence on the corrosion of API 5LX steel has been elucidated. The degrading strain
ACE2 is involved in the process of corrosion of steel API 5LX and also utilizes the diesel as an organic source. The quantitative
biodegradation efficiency (BE) of diesel was 58%, calculated by gas-chromatography–mass spectrum analysis. On the basis of
gas-chromatography–mass spectrum (GC–MS), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD), the
involvement of Serratia marcescens on degradation and corrosion has been investigated. This basic study will be useful for the development of new approaches
for detection, monitoring and control of microbial corrosion. |
