Due to complex microbiological activities and a lack of deep understanding of the interactions between biofilms and metal surfaces, MIC occurrences and mechanisms are difficult to predict and interpret. Many theories and mechanisms have been pro- posed to explain MIC. In this review, the mechanisms of MIC are discussed using hioenergetics, microbial respiration types, and biofilm extracellular electron transfer （EET）. Two main MIC types, namely EET-MIC and metabolite MIC （M-ME）, are discussed. This brief review provides a state of the art insight into MIC mechanisms and it helps the diagnosis and prediction of occurrences of MIC under anaerobic conditions in the oil and gas industry.展开更多
