Abstract
⺠Low intensity 70.6 and 73 GHz electromagnetic irradiation (EMI) strongly suppressed Escherichia coli growth at 73 GHz and pH 7.3. ⺠Reducer DL-dithiothreitol had bactericidal effect and disturbed the SH-groups number. ⺠EMI enhanced E. coli sensitivity toward dithiothreitol. ⺠EMI decreased the SH-groups number of membrane disturbed by ATP and N,Nâ²-dicyclohexycarbodiimide. ⺠The changed membrane oxidation-reduction state could be the primary mechanisms in EMI effects.
