Abstract

The mitigation of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of 304L stainless steel (SS) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa by a Salvia officinalis extract was investigated using electrochemical and surface analysis techniques. The extract was characterized by HPLC-Q-TOF-MS and its antibiofilm property was evaluated. The data revealed the presence of well-known antimicrobial and anticorrosion compounds in the extract. The S. officinalis extract was found effective in preventing biofilm formation and inhibiting mature biofilm. Electrochemical results indicated that P. aeruginosa accelerated the MIC of 304L SS, while the extract was found to prevent the MIC with an inhibition efficiency of 97.5
