## Abstract Moderate electric fields (MEF), applied across microbial growth media may potentially affect the permeability of cell membranes. We investigated the effects of MEF on bacteriocin (lacidin A) production during fermentation and on microbial growth kinetics of __Lactobacillus acidophilus__

## Abstract LandschΓΌtz ascites tumour cells treated __in vitro__ with Protease I showed no changes in intracellular K and Na levels when the cells were analysed directly at the end of the 60βmin incubation period. If, however, the cells were washed twice in the saline medium before analysis signifi
The eukaryotic protozoan, Paramecium, was examined as a model for effects of pulsated electromagnetic fields (PEMF) on cells. A 72-Hz PEMF similar to fields employed clinically increased cell division rates in Paramecium by 8.5%. Two calcium transport mutants of these organisms showed differential r
