Escherichia coli pol A + and pol A − strains were exposed to 8.8‐GHz microwaves pulsed at 1,000 Hz (1‐μs pulse width) and an SAR of 40 W/kg, which increased the temperature of the cell culture by 7 °C. Two‐way analysis of variance showed no significant difference between the growth rates of microwave irradiated and thermally exposed cells.
