EIS and SEM-EDS results showed that the aero- bic biofilms inhibited 316L SS corrosion within the test duration. Comparison of results under aerated and deaerated conditions revealed that 02 enhanced the inhibition efficiency of the aerobic biofilms. This result indicated that living cells were necessary for the aerobic biofilms to inhibit the corrosion of 316L SS. Polarization curves indicated that the biofilms mainly inhibited anode ac- tion. Current-potential curves under deaerated conditions showed that electron transfer processes occurred between microorganisms and electrodes. Moreover, 316L SS as an electron acceptor was protected from corrosion.展开更多
