Abstract

The biofilm formation by bacteria E. coli is a magnetosensitive process. The combined effects of a magnetic magnesium isotope 25Mg and a static magnetic field in the range of 20-35 mT stimulate biofilm formation by E. coli compared to nonmagnetic magnesium isotopes 24.26Mg. Magnetic field effects in the range of 2-10 mT, recorded for all bacteria regardless of the magnesium-isotope enrichment of the nutrient medium, indicate the sensitivity of intracellular processes to weak magnetic fields.
