Abstract
The growth of E. coli cells following low intensity 1.25 Wm-2 broadband synchrotron-sourced Terahertz (THz) radiation was monitored following serial exposures for 60 minutes with distinct samples at 10-minute intervals. After 20 minutes, E. coli cells showed a reduction to 53% compared to the control, and a minor fluctuation in colony forming units density followed by a major recovery to 80% at 60 minutes.
