Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms by which an electromagnetic field (EMF) influences biological material are poorly understood. One potentially important model suggests that a magnetic field can stabilize free radicals in such a way as to permit their dispersement rather than their return to the ground state (Okazaki et al., 1988; Scaiano, 1995). We have tested this hypothesis by examining mutagenesis in the E. coli lacI gene...
