Magnetic-dependent ATP pool in Escherichia coli.

The ATP pool in Escherichia coli is a magnetic-dependent characteristic of microorganism vital activity. It depends on the values of the external static magnetic field and the existence of magnetic moment of magnesium isotopes nuclei added to the growth nutrient medium. The combined effects of the magnetic field 70-95 mT and magnesium magnetic isotope 25Mg on E. coli bacteria leads to increase intracellular concentration of ATP. Magnetic-field effects in the range of 0.8-16 mT, registered for all bacteria regardless of the magnesium-isotopic enrichment of nutrient medium, evidence about the sensitivity of intracellular processes to weak magnetic fields.
