Abstract

In order to evaluate the biocorrosion of API 5L metal buried in saline soils, three different conditions in microcosms were evaluated. The control microcosm contained only saline soil, the second had the addition of petroleum, and the third contained the addition of both petroleum and surfactant. The corrosion rate of the metals was measured by loss of mass after 30 days, and the microbial communities were delineated using 16S rRNA gene sequencing techniques. The species were dominated by halophiles in all samples analyzed. Among the bacteria, the predominant group was Proteobacteria, with emphasis on the Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria. Betaproteobacteria and Deltaproteobacteria members were also identified in a smaller number in all conditions. Firmicutes were especially abundant in the control system, although it was persistently present in other conditions evaluated. Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria were also present in a considerable number of OTUs in the three microcosms. Halobacteria were predominant among archaea and were present in all conditions. The analysis pointed to a conclusion that in the control microcosm, the corrosion rate was higher, while the microcosm containing only oil had the lowest corrosion rate. These results suggest that, under these conditions, the entry of other carbon sources favors the presence of petroleum degraders, rather than samples involved in the corrosion of metals.
