Possible Effect of Magnetically Induced Water Structures on Photosynthetic Electron Transport Chains of a Green Alga Chlorella Vulgarts

Abstract

The effect of different water structures induced by exposure to the two separate pole faces of a 0.297 ± 0.003 T magnet was observed for the activities of photosystems of Chlorella vulgaris. The results show that time-dependent variable water structures produced by two poles have different effects on the activities of the photosystems. One possible mechanism may be due to the selective partitioning of ions among and within the extra- and intracellular aqueous solutions, and failure of the water-oxidizing clock to strip electrons from the magnetically restructured water.
