Abstract
A series of new mono- and bis-1,2,3-triazole derivatives of 2-benzimidazolethiol were synthesized by three-component copper(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. The desired heterocycles were obtained in good yields and fully characterized. The corrosion inhibition efficiency of new heterocyclic compounds was investigated on steel grade API 5L X52 in 1 M HCl using electro-chemical impedance spectroscopy. The results revealed that these new organic compounds show promising inhibition properties for the corrosion of steel in acidic media.

Abstract
The LAR-1 strain was isolated from sediment samples collected at the intersection of A-Shi River and Songhwa River, China with high iron-reducing capability. Biochemical tests (API 20A, API-20NE and API-ZYM), fatty acids analysis, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) tests revealed that LAR-1 is closely related to Citrobacter sp. The LAR-1 was used as anode chamber seed to start up microbial fuel cell (MFC). The tested MFC had an open-circuit voltage of 610 mV and a maximum power density of 610 mW/m(2) at 360 mV. The analytical results confirmed that the iron reducing bacterium can be used as anodic respiratory bacterium for MFC. Copyright (C) 2015, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.
