Abstract

Graphene is widely explored as a non-invasive coating to prevent corrosion by microbial biofilms, yet its vulnerability to quorum sensing (QS)-regulated colonization remains unclear. This study presents the effects of initial biofilm formation and microbial corrosion on graphene-coated copper (Gr/Cu) via QS mechanisms. Exogenous acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs, 20 ppm w/v) doubled sessile cell attachment and reduced corrosion resistance fourfold, corroborated by a threefold increase in weight loss. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 86 % upregulation of QS-related genes, including those linked to attachment and exopolysaccharide synthesis. These findings demonstrate an indirect yet significant role of QS in promoting SRB biofilms and accelerating corrosion.

群体感应对硫酸盐还原菌生物膜增强石墨烯包覆铜腐蚀的间接影响

石墨烯作为一种非侵入性涂层被广泛研究，以防止微生物生物膜的腐蚀，但其对群体感应（QS）调节的定植的脆弱性尚不清楚。本研究通过QS机制研究了初始生物膜形成和微生物腐蚀对石墨烯包覆铜（Gr/Cu）的影响。外源性酰基-同丝氨酸内酯（AHLs, 20 ppm w/v）使无根细胞附着加倍，耐腐蚀性降低四倍，重量减轻三倍。转录组学分析显示，qs相关基因上调了86% %，包括与附着和外多糖合成相关的基因。这些发现表明QS在促进SRB生物膜和加速腐蚀方面具有间接而重要的作用。
