Mixed-valent iron [Fe (II)-Fe (III)] minerals such as magnetite and green rust have received a
significant amount of attention over recent decades, especially in the environmental …

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

Microbe‐mediated mineralization is ubiquitous in nature, involving bacteria, fungi, viruses,
and algae. These mineralization processes comprise calcification, silicification, and iron …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a group of phylogenetically diverse and morphologically
varied microorganisms with a magnetoresponsive capability called magnetotaxis or …

The origin and evolution of magnetoreception, which in diverse prokaryotes and protozoa is
known as magnetotaxis and enables these microorganisms to detect Earth's magnetic field …

Microbes that synthesize minerals, a process known as microbial biomineralization,
contributed substantially to the evolution of current planetary environments through …

Bacteria synthesize a wide range of intracellular submicrometer-sized inorganic precipitates
of diverse chemical compositions and structures, called biominerals. Their occurrences …

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

Many species of bacteria can manufacture materials on a finer scale than those that are
synthetically made. These products are often produced within intracellular compartments …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) biomineralize intracellular, membrane‐bounded crystals of
magnetite (Fe3O4) and/or greigite (Fe3S4) called magnetosomes. MTB play important roles …
