title: Very low frequency and small intensity electromagnetic and magnetic fields as an oecological factor.
abstract: The effect on microorganisms of electromagnetic and magnetic fields (EMF, MF), the frequency and intensity of which were similar to natural ones, was studied. They were found to influence the physiology of bacteria. Changes in the rate of proliferation of microbes, in their susceptibility to antibiotic the frequency of formation of recombinants and partial diploids during conjugation of colibacterium were observed during cultivation in these fields.
