Influence of a combined impact of microwave emission and ultrasound on a mixed culture of chemolithotrophic indigenous microorganisms of the Kamchatka nickel-bearing province.

Abstract

The paper presents results of the combined effects of microwave and ultrasound emission on the vital functions of acidophilic chemolithotrophic microorganisms. The results on the independent and mutual influence of emissions were obtained. The combined use of two types of waves, depending on the irradiation regime, can cause more pronounced biological effects, in comparison with the isolated effect of microwave and ultrasound. Both positive and negative biological effects can be more pronounced.
