Magnetic field benefits bacteria

Magnetic field benefits bacteria.
Weak magnetism shown to affect chemical reaction inside cells.
Thorsten Ritz, a biophysicist at the University of California, Irvine, had
something to say about the issue.
Peter Hore, a physical chemist at the University of Oxford, UK, who led the
research effort, says that this is the first time a magnetic effect of this kind
has been seen.
Hore's team used a mutant strain of the bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides called
R-26. The strain lacks a protective chemical known as a carotenoid that normally
soaks up damaging radicals: "This bacterium was deliberately modified to be
sensitive to magnetic fields," explains Hore. "We wanted to maximize the field's
effect."

{Comment By EL Hemetis}
The scientific research seams to be "homing in" on more empirical proofs that
matter is founded on a complex scheme of magnetic vortices.
Of course we already know about NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), but the issue
here is that uniform magnetic fields could force a bias favouring a chemical
reaction result.
The magnetic field vector could be responsible for biological horizontal
orientation as much as gravity does for the vertical growth of plants.
For animals and humans that walk around the magnetic field is applied locally
(in a belt) for some popular therapies.
It is not farfetched that humans might learn in the future by wearing magnetic
transducers on the head to interact directly with the brain's wave function.
