Abstrakt: The effect that electromagnetic radiation in the millimeter range has on the motility of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells deposited onto a glass slide is investigated by decorrelation of dynamic speckles. Motility of biological cells that lack the natural ability to move is primarily due to Brownian motion. It is found that the motility of cells exposed to radiation in the frequency range of 41–42 GHz becomes either more or less intensive depending on frequency and is related to corresponding alteration of cohesive electrostatic forces acting between cells and the surface. A direct effect of millimeter waves on the electric subsystem of an isolated cell is revealed for the first time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
