Influence of geliophysical factors and geomagnetic storms on the physiology of microorganisms and epidemics
Abstract
The article discusses the possible underlying mechanisms of magnetic storms ability to cause dissociation in the initial microbial populations and to alter the enzymes activity as well pathogenicity and resistance factors.
