| Annotation: | Although there is ongoing interest in the adverse and beneficial effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF), a clearexplanation of EMF\’s influence on living structures is lacking. To investigate low-frequency (LF) magnetic fields(MF), we will enhance our experimental platform to test their possible inhibitory or stimulatory effects based onfrequency and magnetic flux density parameters. As a model organism yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiaewill be used. Its response to time-harmonic and pulsed MF will be studied by measuring cell growth curve usingturbidimetry, impedance spectroscopy and microscopy. Moreover, the ion parametric resonance interactionmodel will be verified for biogenic ions and the magnitude of the ambient static geomagnetic field. The importanceof this area of research lies in exploring physical methods for manipulating biological structures, with potentialbenefits for biotechnology and medical treatment. |
