Abstract

Some studies show how exposure to fields can enhance or reduce cell activity, with possible applicative consequences in the field of biotechnology, including biological techniques for depollution. In order to identify full-scale conditions that are suitable and potentially applicable for use in electromagnetic fields to stimulate and accelerate bioremediation processes, this paper offers an examination of the scientific literature that is available on the effects of fields on microorganisms, and a critical analysis of it. The biological effects at times contrast with each other.
