Transmembrane behavior of Ca2+ in E. coli cells impacted by high-intensity pulsed magnetic field (PMF) was studied. The bacteria were subjected to a treatment of PMF (0-4.5 T, 0-30 pulse numbers). The study found that intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) of E. coli was changed significantly with PMF treatment. When sample was treated by PMF (2.5 T, 20 pulse numbers) at 30oC, total number colonies of E. coli 8099 sample decreased 63% while the [Ca2+]i increased 2.2 times as much as the sample without treatment. Change of [Ca2+]i in E. coli cells at logarithm phase is more sensitive to PMF treatment than those at other growth phases. There is certain relativity between transmembrane behavior of Ca2+ in E. coli cells and “biological window effect” corresponding to PMF sterilization effects, so the biological window effect of high-intensity PMF sterilization was validated preliminarily by transmembrane behavior of E. coli cell Ca2+. Effect of pulse number on [Ca2+]i is more placid than that of power. The increase of [Ca2+]i is an important reason of E. coli cells death in PMF sterilization.
