New Phenotype and Mineralization of Biogenic Iron Oxide in Magnetotactic Bacteria

New Phenotype and Mineralization of Biogenic Iron Oxide in Magnetotactic Bacteria

Many magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) biomineralize magnetite crystals that nucleate and grow inside intracellular membranous vesicles originating from invaginations of the cytoplasmic membrane. The crystals together with their surrounding membranes are referred to as magnetosomes. Magnetosome magnetite...
