Functional expression of foreign magnetosome genes in the alphaproteobacterium Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense

ABSTRACT Magnetosomes of magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) consist of structurally perfect, nano-sized magnetic crystals enclosed within vesicles of a proteo-lipid membrane. In species of Magnetospirillum, biosynthesis of their cubo-octahedral-shaped magnetosomes was recently demonstrated to be a complex...
