| Description | The effects of 50 Hz magnetic fields on sulphate-reducing bacteria viability were studied electrochemically. Two types of graphite electrodes (pyrolytic and glassy carbon) covered with whole bacterial cells behind a dialysis membrane were used for electrochemical measurements. We found about 15% decrease of reduction peak current density (which indicates desulphurization activity of the bacterial cells their metabolic activity) on cyclic voltammograms after magnetic field exposure compared to the control samples. |
