Abstract

V originále

The effect of a 50 Hz magnetic field on the growth of different bacterial strains was studied. We used bacteria with different cell shapes. We compared rod-shaped bacteria (E. coli, L. adecarboxylata) and spherical bacteria (S. aureus, P. denitrificans, S. paucimobilis, R. erythropolis). The growth curves of control and magnetic fields exposed samples were measured. The cylindrical coil induced magnetic fields with inductions up to 10 mT. Duration of exposure varied up to 24 min. Exposure took place at laboratory temperature (24-26 degrees C) and the air ventilator maintained the temperature of sample. We observed the decrease of optical densities in exposed samples. The magnetic field effect was bigger for rod-like bacteria. We concluded that magnetic field effects depend on the shape of exposed cells.

In Czech

Byl studován vliv magnetických polí o frekvenci 50 Hz na růst bakterií různých tvarů. Porovnávali jsme tyčinkové bakterie (E.coli, L.adecarboxykata) a bakterie tvaru koule (S.aureus, P.denitrificans, S.paucimobilis, R.erythropolis). Byli stanoveny růstové křivky. Magnetické pole bylo vytvořeno ve válcové cívce, magnetická indukce byla až 10 mT. Doba exposice byla měněna až do 24h. Magnetické pole mělo větší vliv na bakterie tvaru tyček.
