Glucose consume and growth of E. coli under electromagnetic field

Abstract: E. coli was submitted to a 5G electromagnetic field generated by a alternate 60 Hz voltage source. The differences on growth and glucose consume in control and exposed groups were evaluated using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test. There was a significant difference in glucose consume and growth in E. coli after 8 hours of exposition to electromagnetic field. It can be concluded that electromagnetic field had a positive effect in consume of glucose and growth of E. coli. The cause of these results can be e… Show more

“…In our study, magnetic field transmitted by high voltage line was not found to have any effect on the number of bacteria. Unlike our study, in a study conducted by Nascimento et al, (2003), a significant increase was found in the growth rate and glucose consumption of E. coli bacteria exposed to electromagnetic field in laboratory medium. Al-Khaza'leh and Al-Fawwaz (2015) researched the effect of magnetic field on the growth rate of three different bacteria strains (E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis).…”

“…This behavior under stress conditions could also explain the high glucose consumption rate by K. xylinus when growing in the presence of chloramphenicol. Concerning the increase of K. xylinus glucose consumption under the effect of a magnetic field, it has been mentioned that this factor has a positive effect on bacterial growth [ 44 ]. The cause of this result can be explained by an increase of glucose entering through the cell membrane as a consequence of the stimulated transport system, as well as by shortening of the lag phase and excitement of the log phase.…”

“…This can affect ion transport into the cells and this can result in biological changes in the organisms [6]. The other possible effects are the formation of free radicals due to magnetic field exposure [3] in addition to other main effect is the influence of electromagnetic fields on carbohydrate metabolism [7,19,20]. [20] also reported differences in cDNAfingerprints between cells exposed to magnetic fields and unexposed cells, and showed that the magnetic field induced changes in gene expression.…”
