Foundation structures (monopiles) of offshore wind power systemsappear particularly prone to MIC. The hollow structures trap seawater and thus provide only limited exchange with the ambient waters. These special environmental conditions inside monopiles play a pivotal role for shaping the microbial community and respective biogeochemical processes. Currently, corrosion protection measures inside offshore monopiles only address electrochemical corrosion, likely resulting from a lack of knowledge of the microbial processes and taxa involved in MIC in these specific environments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Here we report on two\n                      <jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic>\n                      incubation experiments conducted inside a monopile structure located in the German North Sea. Mild steel (S355), as commonly used for monopiles, was incubated inside the largely enclosed structure in surface near and bottom waters for 3 and 12 months, respectively. Parallel to\n                      <jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic>\n                      incubations, temporal and spatial geochemical and microbial water column profiling was performed. Steel biofilms were analyzed with a suite of scanning electron and 3D microscopy, quantification of extracellular polymeric substances, and RNA-based 16S rRNA gene profiling, correlated with environmental parameters.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results and discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Geochemical water column parameters demonstrated strong seasonal vertical stratification inside the monopile. In summer months, anoxia (O\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      = 0 \u03bcM) can develop in bottom waters and biogenic methane and highly corrosive, toxic hydrogen sulfide in bottom waters accumulated. Compared to water column samples, biofilms of the steel incubations at different depths exhibited lower microbial diversities. Microbial taxa commonly associated with MIC like Feoxidizing bacteria (e.g.\n                      <jats:italic>Hoeflea<\/jats:italic>\n                      ), sulfate reducing bacteria (e.g.\n                      <jats:italic>Desulfobacteraceae<\/jats:italic>\n                      ) and methanogenic archaea (e.g.\n                      <jats:italic>Methanococcaceae<\/jats:italic>\n                      ) as well as pitting corrosion gave indications for the onset of MIC processes during the incubation of the steel coupons. In summary, the highly dynamic environmental parameters of the water column and duration of the exposure of steel structures significantly influenced the microbial community composition on steel surfaces and thus may also influence the potential for MIC-related material degradation inside monopiles that are not protected against corrosion.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2026.1886489","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]],"date-time":"2026-09-03T06:40:05Z","timestamp":1788417605000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Seasonally dynamic ecosystems within offshore wind power monopile foundations support microbially influenced corrosion"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Nicole","family":"Adam-Beyer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Geomicrobiology, GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel","place":["Kiel, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carolin","family":"Skottke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"F&E GmbH","place":["Kiel, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Benthic Biogeochemistry, GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel","place":["Kiel, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claus-Henning","family":"Solterbeck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Applied Sciences Kiel","place":["Kiel, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emanuel","family":"Wyler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Max Delbr\u00fcck Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association, Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology (BIMSB)","place":["Berlin, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Markus","family":"Landthaler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Max Delbr\u00fcck Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association, Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology (BIMSB)","place":["Berlin, Germany"]},{"name":"Institute for Biology, Humboldt University of Berlin","place":["Berlin, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jana","family":"Schloesser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Applied Sciences Kiel","place":["Kiel, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mirjam","family":"Perner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geomicrobiology, GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel","place":["Kiel, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"79","DOI":"10.1201\/9781032708010-4","volume-title":"Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion","author":"Abilio","year":"2026"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"283","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-30197-1_260","volume-title":"The Prokaryotes: Alphaproteobacteria and Betaproteobacteria","author":"Abraham","year":"2014"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"242","DOI":"10.1080\/01490451.2019.1694107","article-title":"Microbial community compositions and geochemistry of sediments with increasing distance to the hydrothermal vent outlet in the Kairei field","volume":"37","author":"Adam","year":"2019","journal-title":"Geomicrobiol J."},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1565157","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2025.1565157","article-title":"Microbial hydrogen oxidation potential in seasonally hypoxic Baltic Sea sediments","volume":"16","author":"Adam-Beyer","year":"2025","journal-title":"Front.
