Paper Title
Study of the Antimicrobial Effect of an Innovative Biocide on Corrosive Bacteria

Abstract
Currently, various techniques and chemicals are used to control microbial metal corrosion (MIC). The application of herbal biocides is one of the effective and practical techniques for controlling MIC. Gallic acid or hydroxy-benzoic, considered as natural phenolic, is present in berries, citrus fruits, cereals, tea, wine and herbs. It is a powerful antioxidant and antimicrobial agent. For all these properties, the objective of our study is to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of gallic acid against three different bacterial consortia, isolated from an injection water from an oil field, it is acts of reducing sulphate bacteria SRB, These bacteria are known for their highly corrosive biofilm formations. The biocide used in the form of gallic acid showed a bactericidal effect against the SRB consortia. Keywords - Gallic Acid, SRB, Biofilm, Corrosion, API5LX60
