Pulsed electric discharges in water as a source of magnetic nanoparticles for transportation of microorganisms

The distinguishing property of magnetic nanoparticles that determines the increasing interest in these objects is their mobility under the action of a magnetic field, which can be used for their directional transportation, deposition, and concentration in a preset region. It is shown that nanoparticles consisting of iron oxide can be used as magnetoactive agents for converting the cells of microorganisms into microaggregates for their directional transportation or concentration in liquid media under the action of a magnetic field.
