Magnetotactic bacteria display one of the clearest behavioral responses to the geomagnetic
field of any living organism, and are one of the few known prokaryotes which have the ability …

Most magnetotactic bacteria (MB) produce stable, single-domain magnetite nanocrystals
with species-specific size, shape and chain arrangement. In addition, most crystals are …

Magnetic detection and classification of magnetofossils have been proposed as potential
tools for paleoenvironmental studies. Magnetosomes in bacterial species living in different …

Magnetite occurs widely in natural environments in both inorganic and biogenic forms.
Discrimination of the origin of magnetite in natural environments has important implications …

Marine and lacustrine sediments represent an important source of global paleomagnetic
data. Although it is usually assumed that detrital iron oxides record most of the magnetic …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are ubiquitous aquatic microorganisms that form intracellular
nanoparticles of magnetite (Fe3O4) or greigite (Fe3S4) in a genetically controlled manner …

New developments and discoveries in biomineralization have occurred almost continuously
in the intervening decade since the previous IUGG quadrennial report on biomineralization …

Identification of the mineral remains of magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), known as
magnetofossils, is of particular interest because their occurrence can be used for …

Single domain magnetite particles formed in chain assemblies by magnetotactic bacteria
(MTB) are taken as proxy in inferring environmental and Earth's magnetism. The reliable use …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) synthesize magnetite and greigite crystals under low oxygen
conditions in the water column or uppermost sediment (greigite‐producing bacteria are …
