ACTION OF INFRARED RAYS ON MICROORGANISMS

Abstract

The experiments show that the action of the infra red rays, having a wave length of 0.8-1.2 microns: did not reflect on the fermentative properties of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae XII in the fermenting of the maltose and did not reflect on the morphology of the yeast cells; tended to hinder the formation of the leukoraces of the Bact. prodigiosum at 46-47C; did not reflect on the character of the structure of the colonies of the Pseudomonas fluorescens liquefaciens; stimulated the process of denitrification in the culture Pseudomonas fluorescens liquefaciens on the Ghiltan medium; and slightly hindered the process of division in regard to the lenghtening of the cells.
