The corrosion of ferrous metals in the crude oil industry costs hundreds of millions of dollars annually. It was estimated that about 15% of metal corrosion is due to bacterial activities in a process known as microbiologically-influenced corrosion (MIC). The aim of this study is to develop the method to identify microbial organisms that play key roles for MIC by an analysis of metagenome with bioinformatics.
