Impact of low frequency electromagnetic field exposure on selected microorganisms

Effects of short term exposure on two selected microorganisms by a low frequency electromagnetic field are studied in the article. One of the most radiation resistant bacterium and commensal bacterium normally occurring in gastrointestinal tracts of mammals are chosen for this research. The theory of ion parametric resonance is taken as the base for studying the influence of the electromagnetic field on biological structures. Specific measurements are performed according to this theory in order to evaluate the impact. The electromagnetic treatment influences the growth rate of both bacteria. The methods and results of experiments are described and discussed in the article.
