This study investigated the influence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa's outward extracellular electron transfer (EET) on the accelerated corrosion of 304 stainless steel. The biofilm of P. aeruginosa accelerated pitting corrosion when there was less NO3- available as an electron acceptor. The results from ICP-MS and XPS showed that P. aeruginosa promoted the bio-reductive dissolution of iron oxides in the passive film of stainless steel. Using in situ scanning electrochemical microscopy, a relationship was established between the accelerated deterioration of the passive film and the EET process mediated by the conversion of the redox states of pyocyanin secreted by P. aeruginosa.
