In recent years, it became clear that microorganisms have the potential to positively impact corrosion behavior, a phenomenon known as MICI (microbiologically influenced corrosion inhibition) [1,2]. Although research on MICI mechanisms is still in the beginning, two main mechanisms have been outlined: direct and indirect inhibition. In the first one, the microorganisms are responsible for the segregation of slow-release inhibitors or surfactants or consume oxygen, which affects the cathodic reaction process. The second one, indirect inhibition mechanism, is associated to the formation of a protective layer on the surface of the material due to metabolic activity of microorganisms. In this context, biomineralization attracted the attention of researchers as a solution to inhibit metal corrosion.engAluminium alloysMarine corrosion inhibitionBiomineralizationMarine microorganismsconference object
