Abstract
We have previously shown that continuous exposure of the slime mold Physarum polycephalum to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (75 Hz, 2.0 G, 0.7 V/m) lengthens the mitotic cell cycle and depresses the rate of respiration. In this paper, we report that exposing Physarum polycephalum to intermittent fields (16 hrs/day, 5 days/wk) of 76 Hz, 1.0 G, 1.0 V/m lengthens the cell cycles and increases rather than decreases the respiration rate. these results imply in addition to field intensity and waveform, the length of exposure is an important parameter in elucidating the bioeffects of electromagnetic fields.
