Measurement of the magnetic moment of single Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense cells by magnetic tweezers
Abstract Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense is a helix-shaped magnetotactic bacterium that synthesizes iron-oxide nanocrystals, which allow navigation along the geomagnetic field. The bacterium has already been thoroughly investigated at the molecular and cellular levels. However, the fundamental phys...
