Abstract
Effects of DC magnetic fields, up to 125,000 G, on the survival of the ciliated protozoan Spirostomum ambiguum exposed to the toxic substance 2,2β²βdipyridyldisulfide are reported. The magnetic field diminishes the ability of the organism to survive the drug, and lengthens the extension phase of the contraction cycle. It is proposed that the magnetic field alters the regulation of intracellular (C^2+^) transients.

Calcium is an important molecule in a number of biological systems. Often these systems are signal transduction cascades involving molecules such as ATP.
