Abstract

It has been shown that bacteria Escherichia coli, which were previously enriched with magnetic isotope of magnesium, 25Mg, essentially faster adapt to the new growth media by comparison with the cells, which were enriched with nonmagnetic isotopes 24Mg or 26Mg. In the experiments with another commonly accepted cell model, yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it has been shown that magnetic 25Mg, in comparison to nonmagnetic 24Mg, essentially better stimulates recovery of the cells after short wave UV irradiation. Thus, for the first time, the magnetic isotope effects in vivo have been discovered. These findings reveal the novel, based on the stable magnetic isotopes, ways of control over efficiency and reliability of biological systems.
