Popis: This chapter describes the state of the art in investigation of gradient magnetic field influence on liquid biosystems including electrokinetic, magnetophoretic and orientation effects. The gradient magnetic force acting on bioobjects under moderate magnetic field strength is analyzed depending on their effective magnetic susceptibility and size of the objects. The attention of the Reader is also attracted to the existence of not only artificial but also biogenic sources of gradient magnetic fields such as biogenic magnetic nanoparticles. The hypothesis is discussed that the chains of biogenic magnetic nanoparticles are important functional elements of the cells and represent magnetic organelle because high-gradient magnetic fields of the biogenic magnetic nanoparticles influence on vesicles, granules and other components. The liquid–liquid phase separation is demonstrated experimentally as an example of the effect of high-gradient magnetic fields on colloids. Besides, influence of strong magnetic fields on the orientation of cells with anisotropic diamagnetic susceptibility in liquids is described.
