Magnetite magnetosome biomineralization in Magnetospirillum magneticum strain AMB-1: A time course study
Abstract
Magnetotactic bacteria are a highly studied group of diverse prokaryotes that biomineralize chains of magnetosomes, single domain, single crystal magnetic nanoparticles of magnetite or greigite, enclosed by a lipid bilayer membrane whose synthesis is under strict genetic control. In addition to characterizing the genetics and physicochemical properties of both cultured and uncultured environmental species, there have been a number of …
