Experimental corroboration of correctness of theoretical thermodynamic calculations of e.m.f. of corrosion reactions induced by soil microorganisms is obtained in the work. A hypothesis is put forward on possible mechanism for stimulation of microbe-induced corrosion by chloride ions. The results obtained permit revealing the reasons of low efficiency conditions of cathode protection in cases of active involvement of soil microorganisms into corrosion processes which are used for maintenance of underground constructions.
