Abstract

The effect of absorbed microwave power in water on germination of some fungal spores was seen. Water samples were exposed to 2.71 GHz microwave at varying incident power density. Incident and absorbed power by water were determined using power sensor and meter. Germination responses of different fungal spores taken from fresh cultures were studied in the microwave power-absorbed-water samples. The study revealed differential germination responses with variation of the absorbed microwave power in water on different fungi. Results indicated that water has the capability to store microwave power alterations.
