  ABSTRACT: The formula for the natural frequency of torsional vibrations of the DNA helix is obtained by methods of mathematical physics. The data on the dependence of E. coli survival on the time of exposure to centimeter waves were analyzed, the numerical coefficient in the resulting formula was determined. According to this formula, the resonant frequency for the DNA of another strain of E. coli was found. When irradiated with centimeter waves of this frequency, a significant decrease in the survival rate of another strain of E. coli was obtained. Similar experiments on three other bacterial cultures confirmed the validity of the formula obtained.
