Abstract
This study investigates the effect of riboflavin on microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of 304 stainless steel induced by Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1. Riboflavin accelerated the MIC process, deepening and expanding corrosion pits. Electrochemical results showed a significant increase in corrosion rate, especially with the addition of 40 ppm riboflavin. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis demonstrated that the passive film underwent a compositional transformation from Fe2O3/Fe3O4/Cr2O3 to FeOOH/Cr(OH)3, accompanied by oxidative conversion of Cr2O3 to CrO3 mediated by riboflavin-facilitated extracellular electron uptake (EEU). High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) results confirmed riboflavin degradation into lumichrome, which accelerated extracellular electron transfer (EET). Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) analysis demonstrated that lumichrome's redox cycling enhanced EEU efficacy, resulting in the degradation of passive film.

An International Journal Devoted to Electrochemical Aspects of Biology and Biological Aspects of Electrochemistry
Bioelectrochemistry is an international journal devoted to electrochemical principles in biology and biological aspects of electrochemistry. It publishes experimental and theoretical papers dealing with the electrochemical aspects of:
• Electrified interfaces (electric double layers, adsorption, electron transfer, protein electrochemistry, basic principles of biosensors, biosensor interfaces and bio-nanosensor design and construction.
• Electric and magnetic field effects (field-dependent processes, field interactions with molecules, intramolecular field effects, sensory systems for electric and magnetic fields, molecular and cellular mechanisms)
• Bioenergetics and signal transduction (energy conversion, photosynthetic and visual membranes)
• Biomembranes and model membranes (thermodynamics and mechanics, membrane transport, electroporation, fusion and insertion)
• Electrochemical applications in medicine and biotechnology (drug delivery and gene transfer to cells and tissues, iontophoresis, skin electroporation, injury and repair).
• Organization and use of arrays in-vitro and in-vivo, including as part of feedback control.
• Electrochemical interrogation of biofilms as generated by microorganisms and tissue reaction associated with medical implants.
