Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) biomineralize iron nanoparticles of magnetite or greigite.
These crystals vary in shape (eg., bullet-shaped, cuboctahedra, or prismatic) and size with …

Magnetotactic bacteria biomineralize magnetic minerals with precisely controlled size,
morphology, and stoichiometry. These cosmopolitan bacteria are widely observed in aquatic …

We report the discovery of exceptionally large biogenic magnetite crystals in clay-rich
sediments spanning the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) in a borehole at …

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is one of the most severe climatic events
of the Cenozoic Era. A massive injection of light carbon into the oceans and atmosphere …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) can biosynthesize ferrimagnetic magnetite (Fe₃O₄) and/or
greigite (Fe₃S₄) nanocrystals. Their ubiquitous presence in oxygen-stratified …

Conventional magnetofossils represent magnetic mineral remains of magnetotactic bacteria.
Giant magnetofossils have no known modern analog. Both conventional and giant …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are widespread prokaryotes which can navigate along the
Earth's magnetic field lines and produce tens to hundreds of nanocrystals of magnetite …

Previous workers identified a magnetically anomalous clay layer deposited on the northern
United States Atlantic Coastal Plain during the Paleocene‐Eocene thermal maximum …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are ubiquitous aquatic microorganisms that incorporate iron
from their environment to synthesize intracellular nanoparticles of magnetite (Fe3O4) or …

Abstract Magnetite (Fe3O4) is a ubiquitous iron oxide found in sediments and sedimentary
rocks. It is a major carrier of sediment and rock magnetization, and is used for numerous …
