Influence of a Constant Magnetic Field on the Infectious Titer of Black Sea Algal Viruses

The change in the infectious titer of strains of the Black Sea algal viruses of three species of microalgae ( Tetraselmis viridis —strain TvV-S21-1, Dunaliella viridis —strain DvV-S20-1 and Phaeodactylum tricornutum —strain PtV-S20-1) after incubation in a constant unidirectional magnetic field with a magnetic induction of 60 mT was studied experimentally. The studies were carried out using a laboratory installation with a duration of experiments ranging from 24–72 h to 6–8 days. A decrease in the infectious titer of algal viruses by 1–2 orders (10–100 times) was recorded after a magnetic load.
