Abstract:In the course of work on the interactions of electric and magnetic fields with both living and dead biological materials, it was noticed that certain published dielectrophoretic yield curves for biological cells showed unexplained deviations in the region of 2 kHz. Dielectrophoretic measurements made at frequencies and magnetic fields which satisfied the nuclear magnetic resonance conditions showed sharply resonant features. Dielectric measurements showed small, but sharp, resonances most easily seen in the dielectric loss curves which had a bandwidth of the order of one Hertz and presented at the frequencies which satisfied the magnetic resonance conditions for the ambient magnetic field. Resonances were found corresponding to the frequencies for electron spin resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance for1H,31P,23Na,37Cl and39K. The onset of these resonances occurs at the value of the steady magnetic field strength so that one quantum of magnetic flux (2.07×10?15wb) would link a single biological cell or pair of cells, approximately 1 G (100μT) in the case of a 5-μm yeast cell. The effects of these magnetic resonance conditions on the mean generation time ofE. coli and on the reaction of the enzyme lysozyme with the substrateM. lysodeikticus cells are also shown.
