Pranam 1 Sound on micro organism: NOT ALL SOUND CAN KILL IT CAN ALSO GROW THE ORGANISM; EVEN e-COLI CAN MAR OR GROW; AFTER THE DEBACLE OF e COLI IN cALIFORNIA usa A REASERCH WAS CONDUCTED; AND TGHAT PART OF PAPER BELOW WHO MAY LIKE TO READ: "Sound is a mechanical wave that results from the back-and-forth vibration of the particles of a medium. If it is moving through living organisms, then cells will be displaced both rightward and leftward as the energy of sound wave passes through them result in biological effects. Some organisms might respond to sound stimulation with a positive effect on growth. From Fig. 2 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/figure/fig-2/>, we noted that sound stimulation evidently promoted the growth of *E. coli* K-12. Cai et al. (2014) <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-5> reported that the germination period of mung beans was reduced after audible sound treatments with 1.0–2.5 kHz. The PO algae under exposure of sound waves with frequency of 2,200 Hz had greatly significant increase in dry biomass (Cai et al., 2013 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-6> ). Chen (2013) <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-8> also showed that sound waves with main frequency such as 2 kHz in environment of wild plants had better effects on plant growth than other kinds of audible sound. However, the inhibition effect of sound waves on microbial growth was also observed. Sarvaiya & Kothari (2015) <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-23> reported that *Serratia marcescens* were found to suffer a decrease in growth under the influence of music. Also, all sonic stimuli tested reduced biomass production of the yeast cells by 14% (Aggio, Obolonkin & Villas-Bôas, 2012 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-1>). In addition, we also found that the sound waves at frequency 2 kHz and 8 kHz evoke the most significant growth promotion of *E. coli* K-12. It suggested that the action of sound waves showed obvious frequency peculiarities. Matsuhashi et al. (1998) <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-17> found that cells of *B*. *Subtilis* could produce sound waves and the frequencies of the sound produced by *B*. *Subtilis* were similar with the frequencies that induced a response in *B*. *Carboniphilus*. Furthermore, microbial cells can absorb more energy when the frequency of the incoming vibration matches their natural frequency of vibration (Reguera, 2011 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-20>). Ying, Dayou & Chong (2009) <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-37> revealed that the increases of viable cells of *E. coli* were equivalent to 7%, 34% and 30.5% for the sound treatment at 1 kHz, 5 kHz and 15 kHz waves, compared to the control group. Our previous work found that the biomass (OD 600) of *E. coli* N43 increased more than 31.5%, 86.0% and 31.1% for the sound treatment at 1 kHz, 5 kHz and 10 kHz than the control group. In this paper, we found that the biomass of *E. coli* K-12 increased more than 13.3%, 15.3% and 6.8% for the sound treatment at 1 kHz, 4 kHz and 10 kHz than the control. These findings suggested that significant differences of biological effects induced by sound stimulation exist between different strains of the same species, species of the same genus and genera of the same family.
The investigations of sound waves exposed to different intensity and power level showed that sound stimulation at certain strength can promote the growth of *E. coli* K-12. Sun & Cai (1999) <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-28> and Shen et al. (1999) <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-25> observed that sound stimulation could benefit the absorb of nutriment and synthesis of DNA in S period of tobacco cells and promote the fluidity of membrane wall and membrane lipid. However, our experiments indicated that a high level of sound power (sound power level at 63 dB or sound intensity at 100 dB) could induce an obvious decrease in *E. coli* K-12 growth promotion effects. Li et al. (2001) <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-15> noted that when the sound intensity increase from 100 dB to 110 dB, the number of tobacco cells in S period reduced greatly. Consequently, excessive sound exposure might bring out negative effects on the growth of *E. coli* K-12 through some unknown way. It is necessary for cell division to accumulate rapidly intracellular biological macromolecules, such as nucleic acid molecules, proteins, lipids and polysaccharides. As shown in Fig. 5 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/figure/fig-5/>, sound exposure could significantly promote synthesis of the intracellular protein and RNA in the early treatment stages. The value of intracellular protein and RNA at 6 h reached 566.4 mg/g and 113.0 mg/g in the treated group were 1.1 times and 1.25 times that of the control group respectively. It was also reported that sound stimulation can promote the synthesis of intracellular molecules such as protein (Yang, 2013 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-36>), RNA (Wang et al., 2003 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-33>) and DNA (Li et al., 2001 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-15>) in plants. Schaechter, Maaloe & Kjeldgaard <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-24> (1958) <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-24> authenticated that not only cell mass, but also nucleic acid and protein content were a function of growth rate rather than the composition of the medium used to achieve that growth rate. In addition, Vadia & Levin (2015) <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-32> verified that cell size is a linear function of growth rate. Taheri-Araghi et al. <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-29> (2014) <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-29> demonstrated that cells add a constant volume each generation based on the combination of experimental results and quantitative analysis. In our experiments, sound stimulation can induce the change of cell morphology except for the growth, metabolism and cell division. We found that the average length of *E. coli* K-12 exposed to sound intensity level 100 dB increased more than 27.26% compared to the control group. Pelling et al. (2004) <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-19> observed that the cell wall of cells of *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* exhibited local, periodic nanoscale motions in an acoustically insulated environment using an atomic force microscope (AFM). The membrane fluidity increased under sound stimulation of some strength and frequency (Zhao et al., 2002 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-40>). Sound stimulation also changed the secondary structure of the cell wall proteins of tobacco cells. The exact mechanism of bacterial cells respond to sound exposure is unclear. Mechanosensitive channels (Msc) might be involved in the process of acoustic stress. Actually, Msc play an important role in mechanical signal transduction. It is widely distributed in cell membrane of bacteria, which was considered as cell “sensor” and “effector” for mechanical stimulation (Anishkin & Kung, 2005 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-3>; Martinac, 2011 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-16>). When sound waves got through the cell membrane surface it would open Msc, resulting in some small molecules outside the cell such as H2O, Na+, K+ and Ca2+ pass freely through the cell membrane (Booth et al., 2007 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-4>; Nazarenco et al., 2003 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-18>). It is well known that Ca2+, as a second messenger, plays an important role in the life activities of microbes (Ren et al., 2009 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-21>). Furthermore, studies of the plant response to mechanical stimulation found that calcium signal was an early event in stress reaction (Zhang et al., 2010 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-39>). We speculated that bacterial cells might sense the sound stimuli by Msc and convert physical stimuli into biological signals by the inflow of Ca2+. In addition, bacteria dominated the increasing cell-population density by quorum sensing (Taj et al., <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-30> 2014 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-30>), and *E. coli* had a whole quorum sensing system with AI-2 as signal molecule (Ting, 2009 <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830253/#ref-31>). It was obvious that the cell-population density of *E. coli* K-12 increased greatly under the condition of sound stimuli and without the addition of any nutriments compared to the control group. The result suggested that sound exposure may assist *E. coli* K-12 in obtaining a relatively high threshold level of cell growth by passivated density—dependent inhibition. In the subsequent research, we will aim to explore and verify the related mechanism. The results of this study indicated that sound while travelling through microbial suspensions created a kind of mechanical stress, which can be sensed by a growth vessel inside cells, and living organisms including microbes can rapidly respond to the stress at both the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. *However, the mechanism of sound* * stimulation on* *Microorganism growth is still unknown*. Our further work will concentrate on the production of AI- 2 and the concentration of intracellular calcium in *E. coli* K-12 that occurs in response to sound waves, which will certainly provide new insights into the interaction of microbes with sound exposure in general.
