Functional characteristics of yeast cells in nutrient aqueous solution enriched with ortho-H2O isomers

It has been experimentally established that cultivation of yeast cells in depleted, dietary or normal nutrient aqueous solutions enriched with ortho-H₂O spin isomers is accompanied by an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the cells and an increase in their biomass. It has been revealed that the rate of metabolic processes and biological activity depends on the quality of nutrition and enhances in time in both nutrient solutions. In contrast, the reproductive function and the rate of cell division are insusceptible to the components of nutrition, but intensified in a solution enriched with ortho-H₂O similar to retardation of aging. The observed effects are discussed in assumption that an increase of a portion of ortho-H₂O molecules occurs in the neighborhood of water channels in the cell membrane that let through only monomers of H₂O and determine the rate vicinity of metabolic processes.
