โœฆ Synopsis

This paper represents the study of the biological effects of static magnetic fields (SMFs) on Escherichia coli (E. coli). The bacterial strain E. coli was exposed to SMFs in order to test its viability (evaluated by the number of colony-forming units (CFU)). In this study, we measured the dependence of CFU on the duration of exposure, on the treatment temperature T and on the value of the magnetic field induction B. The results showed that the number of CFU decreased with longer exposure time and higher treatment temperature (from 25 degrees C to 40 degrees C), whereas multiple extreme values of number of CFU were obtained when the induction B changed. In order to explain the results, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to investigate the morphology of the cells. We found obvious cell surface damage when the cells were exposed to SMFs.

Static magnetic fields affect the diffusion of biological particles in solutions through the Lorentz force and Maxwell stress. These effects were analyzed theoretically to estimate the threshold field strength for these effects. Our results show that the Lorentz force suppresses the diffusion of cha
