Magnetofossils are nanosized magnetic fossil remnants of magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) that
are widely distributed in marine and freshwater sediments. Past studies have revealed that …

Micrometer-size magnetite crystals with peculiar morphologies, such as spearhead, spindle,
needle, and giant bullet, known as giant magnetofossils, were previously identified in marine …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) synthesize intracellular nano-sized minerals of magnetite
and/or greigite magnetosomes for magnetic orientation. They play important roles in global …

The Paleocene–Eocene boundary (∼ 55.8 million years ago) is marked by an abrupt
negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE) that coincides with an oxygen isotope decrease …

Magnetotactic bacteria precipitate intracellular crystals of single-domain magnetite (Fe3O4)
and/or greigite (Fe3S4), which have often been implicated in carrying the natural remanent …

Magnetosomes are intracellular magnetic nanocrystals composed of magnetite (Fe3O4) or
greigite (Fe3S4), enveloped by a lipid bilayer membrane, produced by magnetotactic …

Sedimentary rocks are commonly found on the Earth's surface. Their relatively continuous
coverage in time and space provides a detailed record of the evolution of the Earth system …

Intracellular crystals of magnetite synthesized by cells of the magnetotactic vibroid organism,
MV-1, and extracellular crystals of magnetite produced by the non-magnetotactic …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are known to biosynthesise single-domain magnetite (Fe3O4)
for geomagnetic navigation and their relict magnetosomes (called magnetofossils) can …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a phylogenetically and morphologically diverse group of
microorganisms which synthesize iron minerals of magnetite (Fe3O4) and/or greigite …
