Nonthermal effect of microwave irradiation on nitrite uptake in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

  • 1. Universidad de Cordoba, San Alberto Magno, Cordoba (Spain)

Description

When cells of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were subjected to microwave irradiation at 2.45 GHz, nitrite uptake kinetics still obeyed the Michaelis-Menten equation, the Km of the process remaining constant, whereas V max increased, which indicates an enhanced nonthermal permeability in irradiated cells.
