Features of the interaction between a silicon surface and a Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast suspension in ethanol in a magnetic field

Abstract

The structural features of the silicon surface–Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast suspended in ethanol system, which emerge in weak magnetic fields, are considered in this paper. It is assumed that these features arise from the electrostatic interaction between the negatively charged cell surface and positively charged metal ions emerging on the silicon surface after magnetic activation. The effect of magnetic treatment on the distribution of ethanol microdroplets on the silicon surface is studied separately.
