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

Iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) hold great promise for future biomedical applications
because of their magnetic properties as well as other intrinsic properties such as low toxicity …

Reduction–oxidation (redox) reactions occur during burial because sediments contain
reactive mixtures of oxidised and reduced components. Diagenetic chemical reactions …

In environmental magnetism, rock and mineral magnetic techniques are used to investigate
the formation, transportation, deposition, and postdepositional alterations of magnetic …

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 …

Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are a group of diverse anaerobic microorganisms
omnipresent in natural habitats and engineered environments that use sulfur compounds as …

Micro-organisms contribute to Earth's mineral deposits through a process known as bacteria-
induced mineral precipitation (BIMP). It is a complex phenomenon that can occur as a result …

In this paper, recent research progress regarding carbon steel corrosion products and their
effects on the subsequent corrosion process in H 2 S environments is reviewed. The …

Many motile microorganisms swim and navigate in chemically and mechanically complex
environments. These organisms can be functionalized and directly used for applications …
