Depends upon the bacteria or fungus. The current would probably, depending on the strength, kill or halt cellular division. Remember that us humans die from less than .5 amps of current. I suggest to culture a plate of e.coli and add some electrodes. Keep a curent of .001 amps and about 9 volts. and see what happens after 24 hours. If nothing keep increasing the current until something does. Remember to be very careful with electrical current, it will kill you if you are not careful. I sorry i could give you a better answer.
