Abstract

The dielectric properties of living and dead unicellular microorganisms (yeast) were studied in the microwave range, and the general regularities and differences were revealed. The effect of temperature on the dielectric properties of yeast cells has been studied. The dielectric parameters of water fractions contained in yeast cells were estimated using the refraction model.
