The ability to receive electromagnetic microwaves has been revealed in prokaryotic (Escherichia coli) and eukaryotic (Dunaliella viridis) cells, mm-range generator and the skin of man's hand are used as the sources of microwaves. Reception of mm-field by cells results in their collective directed motion: negative radiotaxis. Special experiments have showed that radioreception is not connected with thermal influence of microwaves.References
