| Research Abstract |
Magnetic fields may induce multiple effects in biological systems, including change in DNA replication or transcriptional levels and modifications of ion and protein flow across membranes. However, effects o f the magnetic field on organisms are still controversial. In this study, we focused on growth changes of environmental microbes caused by the applied magnetic field (hundreds of mT range of a magnetic flux density). Some microbes that should be susceptible to the applied magnetic field were i s o l a t e d from the soil. To reveal the species or strain of these microbes and these mechanisms, we investigated changes of these microbial metabolisms caused by the applied magnetic field
