Investigation of low frequency electromagnetic field (0–2kHz) excitation signal shape influence on Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell counts

摘要

This paper details exposure of wild type Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells to low frequency electromagnetic field in the 0-2kHz region. We opted to use an excitation frequency of 800 Hz, firstly re-confirming our previously published results using a more precise evaluation method and extended our research by modifying the excitation signal shape - half sine waves, either positive or negative (with respect to the Earth magnetic field orientation). All signal shapes have shown an anti-proliferative effect with varying degree of effect.
