✦ Synopsis

Microbial pellets in the presence of south pole magnetic Ðelds demonstrate enhanced oxidation of phenol. Earlier work at 0É49 tesla indicates qualitatively that a unipolar north magnetic Ðeld inhibits and a south magnetic Ðeld accelerates phenol oxidation rates of an alginate immobilized, mixed bacterial culture bioreactor. This work demonstrates further enhancement by exposure during phenol oxidation at 0É15 and 0É35 tesla, as well as by exposure during acclimation of the free microorganisms prior to immobilization. The enhancement of biodegradation is a function of magnetic Ðeld strength and time of exposure. Enhancement is greatest at 0É15 tesla and indicates the existence of an optimum south magnetic Ðeld strength

Exposure to static magnetic fields (SMFs) has been reported to promote osteoblast differentiation in vitro, and increase bone formation in vivo and in clinical studies. Prostaglandins respond early to exogenous mechanical loading, and play an important role in bone formation. In this study, we inves
