The electric polarizability of bacteria is considered in the literature to have a surface charge
dependent (ChD) and a Maxwell− Wagner (MW) mechanism. We distinguish experimentally …

There are two main kinds of electric polarizability of bacteria: surface charge dependent
(SChD) and Maxwell–Wagner (MW) polarizability. The aim of this article is to distinguish …

The theories of dielectric dispersion and of electric birefringence as a representative of
electro-optic methods are considered and it is shown that they both depend in a similar way …

Biological cells are permanently exposed to electric fields by self generated or external
electrical sources. It is important to understand whether and how very weak electric fields …

The theoretical and experimental studies of the particles' electric dipole moments in the
microscopic and submicroscopic size range show that in the case of polar and conductive …

The interface electric polarizability of bacteria (charge dependent (ChD) and Maxwell–
Wagner (MW) polarizabilities) gives information about their electric charge, determined by …

The electric polarizability is an important parameter of bacteria, giving information about the
electric properties of the cells. In our previous works [AM Zhivkov, AY Gyurova, Colloids Surf …

The electric properties of bacteria determine their non-specific interactions with the
environment, in particular their pathogenic activity. The electric polarizability of Escherichia …

In the scientific literature in the last 40 years, some data for the permanent dipole moment
and the electric polarizability of Escherichia coli can be found [SP Stoylov, Colloid Electro …

Bacterial viability can be affected by pulsed electric fields (PEFs) offering a new approach for
decontamination of liquids for the food industry and for waste water treatment. The molecular …
