Effects of magnetic fields on biomass and glutathione production by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Glutathione production using magnetic fields generated by magnets

“…Santos et al (2010) study the effect of MF on GSH production by S. cerevisiae ATCC 7754. In all experiments, the amount of biomass produced was higher than in control experiments (CE).…”

A new strategy for improved glutathione production from Saccharomyces cerevisiae: use of cysteine‐ and glycine‐rich chicken feather protein hydrolysate as a new cheap substrate

“…These characteristics make GSH an important biochemical drug for the treatment of many diseases, including liver cirrhosis, HIV, cancer, pancreatic inflammation and Alzheimer's disease. The compound is also of interest in the food additive and cosmetic industries . Owing to its practical applications, there has been an increasing demand for commercial production of GSH.…”

Study on Adsorption Capacities of Heavy Metals in Biofilms Grown on Magnetic Carriers

“…The productions of EPS were closely related with magnetic field strength and increased with the enhancing of magnetism, as was observed obviously in Figure 3. Many studies showed that magnetic field promoted the metabolism and growth of the microorganisms in biofilms, and thus the biofilms in magnetic field manifested growing faster than that in nonmagnetic field [23].…”
