SOME BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF MICROWAVE ENERGY

Carl M. Olsen, Clifford L. Drake, Stuart L. Bunch · 1966

Spores of Fusarium solani f. phaseoli treated with microwaves germinated on an "all-or-nothing" basis, while water bath treatment gave a conventional germination pattern. Microwave treatment at 2450 MHz of 0.1N NaOH solution produced hydrogen peroxide, whereas water bath heating to the same temperature did not. Microwave finish-drying of potato chips resulted in higher amounts of triglycerides, diglycerides, and longer chain aldehydes in the extracted oil. Mesophilic bacteria were reduced up to 99% and viable spores of Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Rhizopus were also reduced, while Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells heated to 56°C by microwaves had a respiration rate of 0.57 ul 02/min compared with 2.88 ul 02/min for water bath heating at the same temperature.

A method for recording unit potentials during electroanesthesia

J. Richard Toleikis et al. · 1966

Three studies were conducted on squirrel monkeys with trephined skulls and Delron chambers mounted over the sensory motor cortex. Unit activity was recorded using 3 molar KCl glass micropettes with a tip diameter of approximately 10 μm. The exposure used 70 Hz rectangular current pulses of 3 ms duration with a DC bias of 2.5 mA. A triaxial electrode configuration and differential microelectrode preamplifier minimized the rectangular artifact pulses in the recordings. The current was capable of inducing marked changes in the unit potential firing rate.

Studies on the Effect of Radio-Frequency Waves on Biological Macromolecules

Shiro Takashima · 1966

Researchers irradiated alcohol dehydrogenase at 200 volts peak-to-peak across frequencies from 1 to 60 Mc/s. Enzyme activity was measured by the rate of DPN reduction, while DNA structure was assessed by optical density at 260 mu and viscosity. Optical density and viscosity of irradiated DNA showed no significant difference from control samples. The ratio of the first-order rate constant for irradiated versus control alcohol dehydrogenase was nearly unity, indicating no change in activity.
