Abstract

Effects of a high magnetic field gradient (8T, ca. 400 T²m^-1) on the behavior of E. coli were examined. The speeds for movement from a high (8T) to a low field (1.5T) and for the opposite movement are 1.35 and 0.49 cm h^-1, respectively; it is 0.65 cm h^-1 in a zero field. The magnetic force hastens the downfield movement of diamagnetic E. coli and impedes the up-field movement.
