An Open-Source Magnetofluorescence Imaging Platform forPlate-Scale Screening of Magnetic Field Effects in LiveBacteria

The paper introduces an open-source platform for high-throughput screening of magnetic field effects in live bacteria using magnetofluorescence imaging.

Measuring magnetic field effects in fluorescent flavoproteins via spin-dependent fluorescence intensity requires photoexcitation to be faster than spin-independent ground state recovery

The paper models how magnetic fields affect fluorescence in flavoproteins by analyzing parameter sets that enable spin-state-dependent fluorescence contrast.

Escherichia coli K12 exhibits a ~50% longer lag phase, but no difference in log phase growth rate, under hypomagnetic conditions (19 nT)

This study shows that E. coli K12 has a longer lag phase but similar log-phase growth rate under hypomagnetic (19 nT) compared to geomagnetic conditions.

The magnetic field-dependent fluorescence of MagLOV2 in live bacterial cells is consistent with the radical pair mechanism

The paper measures the magnetic field-dependent fluorescence of MagLOV2 in E. coli and finds non-monotonic behavior consistent with the radical pair mechanism.

Weak magnetic field effects in biology are measurable--accelerated Xenopus embryogenesis in the absence of the geomagnetic field

This study shows that Xenopus laevis embryos develop faster in the absence of Earth's magnetic field, suggesting a measurable biological response to weak magnetic fields.
