Magnetotactic bacteria derive their magnetic orientation from magnetosomes, which are
unique organelles that contain nanometre-sized crystals of magnetic iron minerals. Although …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are widespread, motile, diverse prokaryotes that biomineralize
a unique organelle called the magnetosome. Magnetosomes consist of a nano-sized crystal …

Dissimilatory sulphate reduction is the unifying and defining trait of sulphate-reducing
prokaryotes (SRP). In their predominant habitats, sulphate-rich marine sediments, SRP have …

The synthetic production of monodisperse single magnetic domain nanoparticles at ambient
temperature is challenging,. In nature, magnetosomes—membrane-bound magnetic …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MB) are remarkable organisms with the ability to exploit the earth's
magnetic field for navigational purposes. To do this, they build specialized compartments …

Metagenomics has paved the way for cultivation-independent assessment and exploitation
