- Abstract
The response of mycelium proliferation in 12 strains of fungi were tested by sinusoidal ELF 50 Hz electromagnetic field treatment in the range B = 0.6-10 mT over 10 days. The ratio of experiment/control indicated three types of proliferation changes: a) no significant change, b) a strong decrease down to E/C = 0.2, c) a maximization of mycelium diameter by treatment at 5-7 mT. According to these results, effects can be produced noninvasively by varying either magnetic intensities or time of treatment. As yet, systematic bioelectromagnetic research using sinusoidal electromagnetic fields (SEMF)-on fermentation of fungi is still in its initial stages.
