✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Cultures of Escherichia coli kept at 0 °C in a phosphate buffer solution were exposed to a sinusoidal weak 60‐ or 600‐Hz magnetic field of strength 2 × 10^−3^ Tesla. A decrease of more than 40% in bacterial count was observed after a 60‐h exposure to the magnetic field. Electron micrographs of exposed bacteria show ruptured cell walls, possibly due to the breaking away of flagella under the influence of the sinusoidally varying electromotive force.

Most of the research concerning magnetic antinociception was focused on brief exposure less than 1 h. The main purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic field (MF) repeated exposures on rats in inducing antinociception and to find the effectiv
