Abstract

Low frecuency electromagnetic fields effect (EMF) on growth cycles of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine strains Rv1 and Rhône were studied. A cylindrical coil induced magnetic fields with inductions up to 0,39 mT. Exposure time to EMF varied between (1 – 10) min at 30 °C. The biomass growth were monitored in the reactor culture media (yeast extract + by measurement optical density from (0 to 32) h. The biomass was found by dry weight. After yeast expose to the different EMF, the number of growth cycles decreased from 4 cycles to 2 or 1. However, the biomass production increased almost 50 %. The best biomass production was found at 0.39 mT and 10 min exposure time. Keywords: Electromagnetic fields, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, biomass production, RV1
