Abstract

The combined effect of weak magnetic fields and nuclear spins of the magnetic isotope 25Mg on the vital functions of E. coli bacterial cells was proved experimentally. For static external magnetic fields (0–15 mT), the value of colony-forming units of the bacteria enriched in the magnetic isotope 25Mg is higher than those for the bacterial cells containing nonmagnetic isotopes 24Mg and 26Mg and natural magnesium *Mg. According to the intracellular elemental composition, the content of the most important macro- and microelements depends on the type of the magnesium isotope (magnetic/nonmagnetic) and the external magnetic field. The magnetic field and magnetic isotope effects observed in bacteria E. coli prove the existence of magnetosensitive stages of enzymatic processes in living organisms.
