Effect of low frequency weak electric field on bacterial propagation and growth
proliferation and growth of Proteus Mirabilis (PM) and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (PA) in a low frequency weak electric field (LFWEF). Methods Three plates with same germ in same culture medium were put in an incubator. One plate was stimulated by LFWEF directly
the second was closed to the field source
and the last one was comparatively far away from stimulating source. Bacterium’s recovery and proliferation
and the growing speed were observed in solid and liquid culture medium respectively. Results In a field (repeat frequency 0.2-9.8 Hz
empty space 0%-100 %
intensity 0-100 μA)
the proliferation and growing speed was better and faster in the directly stimulated group and close to stimulated source group than in the group without LFWEF stimulation
but there was no obvious difference between the later and the far away group. Conclusion LFWEF exerts promoting effects to bacterium growth.
