Effect of 300 mT static and 50 Hz 0.1 mT extremely low frequency magnetic fields on Tuber borchii mycelium

掲載誌: Can J Microbiol 2012; 58 (10): 1174-1182

この研究は、静磁界SMF)および超低周波磁界(ELF-MF)へのばく露が白トリュフ(Tuber borchii)の菌糸成長における生体分子レベルの変化を誘発できるか否かを調べた。菌糸体に、SMF(300 mT)またはELF-MF(0.1 mT、50Hz)のばく露を1日1時間で連続3日間与えた。その後、遺伝子発現および生化学的分析を行った。その結果、ELF-MFばく露を受けた菌糸体では、定量的リアルタイムポリメラーゼ連鎖反応で、菌糸成長に関与するいくつかの遺伝子発現上昇が検出され、多くの解糖酵素の活性が上昇した;対照的に、SMFばく露を受けた菌糸体では、遺伝子発現に違いは観察されず、グルコース6-リン酸デヒドロゲナーゼおよびヘキソキナーゼの活性のみが上昇した、と報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

To examine the effect of exposure to a static magnetic field or an extremely low frequency magnetic field on gene expression, carbohydrate metabolism and hyphal growth in truffle mycelium.

詳細情報

Truffle is a very expensive edible mushroom, which cultivation is difficult. Therefore, the exposure to magnetic fields could represent a possibility to improve cultivation strategies.
Hyphae are long, branching filamentous structures of the fungi.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

In cell cultures exposed to extremely low frequency magnetic fields, the gene expression of all examined genes was significantly upregulated compared to the control group. However, no significant differences regarding gene expression were observed between the static magnetic field exposure and the control group.
The enzyme activities of hexokinase, glucose phosphate isomerase, pyruvate kinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were significantly increased in the cell cultures exposed to extremely low frequency magnetic fields in comparison to the control group, while in the static magnetic field exposed group only the enzyme activities of hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were significantly increased.
No differences were observed regarding hyphal growth.
The authors conclude that exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields induced changes in gene expression and metabolism of the truffle mycelium and could be a possibility to improve prospective cultivation methods.
