In the presence of nitrogen oxides, nitrate-reducing bacteria (NRB) may use nitrate as an electron acceptor, reduce nitrate to nitrite, and finally convert nitrite to nitrogen or ammonium (NO and N2O). Studies have shown that BCX (Bio-Competitive Exclusion) is a viable , ecologically benign, and low-cost technique for regulating NRB in its first phases of study and application. More precisely, Pseudomonas sp. to isolate nitrate-reducing bacteria from oil-field wastewater using 16S rDNA sequencing and selection (NRB). Including NO3 and NO2 as bio-activators has helped researchers get a deeper understanding of the processes that govern NRB activation. The potential for molybdate and NRB to inhibit Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria (SRB) was also investigated. The results showed that NO2 was more effective than NO3. The effect was greatest at a 1:4 ratio of NO3 to NO2. NRB activation synergized with low molybdic acid solution concentrations (5%). Static corrosion model experiments demonstrated the importance of SRB in the corroding process. Biological inhibitors were shown to have the lowest corrosion rates, proving their effectiveness. Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the corroded steel sheet's surface morphology. In addition, there was almost no surface corrosion or pitting on the steel sheet.
