Synopsis

Bacteria Eat Metal reveals the unseen world of microbial corrosion, highlighting how microorganisms consume steel, a cornerstone of modern infrastructure. This book explores the biological mechanisms, environmental factors, and mitigation strategies related to this phenomenon. Microbial corrosion results in billions of dollars in damages annually to pipelines, ships, and offshore platforms, posing significant environmental risks. A key insight is understanding how microbes adapt to different metallic and environmental conditions through gene expression, influencing the rate and type of corrosion. The book traces the evolution of corrosion science, integrating microbiology with traditional metallurgy and electrochemistry.

 
It begins by introducing the microbes involved, their metabolic processes, and favoring environmental conditions. It then details the mechanisms by which microbes attack metal, including electrochemical and biochemical reactions. Finally, the book explores real-world impacts through case studies and examines current and emerging prevention strategies, providing practical knowledge for industry professionals and policymakers.

    Rivers, canals, and many glorious waterways are championed and admired at every opportunity. Sadly, not so the humble ditch, yet they are the all-important capillaries supplying the veins of our far more visual watercourses. 
    In no way a dry riverbed of hard facts, A Year in a Ditch is informative and a source of knowledge to anyone interested in exploring the delights and habitat created by ditches, many of which are absolutely vital to the success of some of the rarest flora and fauna. Whilst discussing the role of the ditch past, present, and future, it also flows full of relevant quirky notes and detail; old wives tales, quotations, and snippets of poetry. Within these minutes can be found something to fascinate and interest those involved in countryside management, the naturalist, environmentalist, rural explorer, aspiring country dweller—anyone, in fact, who would like to know more about the oft-neglected thousands of miles of ditches that wend their way unobtrusively through the British countryside.
