Investigations on the influence of pulsatory electric field (PEF) involve its impact on a wide scope of biological structures and different groups of microorganisms. The field activity is exerted e.g. on each enzymes, cellular organella, and all living organisms (bacteria, fungi, tissues cells of higher organisms). So far, the widest perspectives of practical application appeared in PEF technology to sterilize the food products. At present, another practical use of PEF is to increase the efficiency of transformed genes. Moreover, the influence of PEF on level of synthesis of different metabolites (citric acid, alcohol) is also insufficiently recognized. Undoubtedly a better knowledge on acting and the effects of PEF on various biological processes may offer an important way to improve the efficiency of many metabolites; thus, the further more penetrating research of the question would be necessary.
