Peroxidase activity in magnetically exposed cellulolytic fungi

Abstract Magnetic field effects on the catalase and peroxidase activity in some mixed cultures of cellulolytic fungi was studied. Two types of electromagnetic exposure have been accomplished: continuous wave and pulsatory field. The catalase dynamics in the fungi mycelium and in the culture medium suggested the hydrogen peroxide increased level following magnetic exposure. The peroxidase activity changes, especially following pulsatory field action, revealed putative complex phenomena related to other low level peroxides.
