"Growth inhibition was most pronounced in the smallest volume, with up to 42% reduction in 10-mL cultures, decreasing to 24% in 75 mL, and none in 250-mL cultures."
"These results suggest that smaller volumes amplify the impact of hypomagnetic exposure, whereas larger volumes may buffer it."
"These shifts indicate that hypomagnetic exposure affects growth kinetics and extracellular volatile profiles without causing visible cell-surface damage detectable by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), although the underlying molecular mechanism remains unresolved."
"Our findings identify cultivation volume as an important modifier of microbial sensitivity to magnetic-field deprivation and have implications for interpreting microbial responses in magnetically altered environments, including space-biology models, shielded structures, and fermentation-based systems."
