The Sound of Dead Yeast
The July 29th Pulse of the Planet featured the cellular sound of dead yeast cells.
A transcript and audio file of the segment “Cell Sounds: Death” are available.
From the transcript:
“Jim Gimzewski recently discovered that the motion within yeast cells produces a sound you can listen to, if its highly amplified. Now, after performing various tests on these living cellsraising their temperature to see if the pitch of their voices changed, Gimzewski decided it was time for more extreme measures.”
Here are transcripts of the previous parts of this series on yeast sounds:
You can get some of the audio files for free (at least for awhile) on the Pulse of the Planet iTunes page.
