ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed for culturing microorganisms or cells isolated from a multicellular organism while exposing the microorganism or cells to sound waves of 5 to 100 kHz. This procedure effects the proliferation and the expression of functions of the cells so exposed. An apparatus for culturing the cells according to this process is also disclosed.
