Induction of biogenic magnetization and redox control by a component of the target of rapamycin complex 1 signaling pathway.

Most organisms are simply diamagnetic, while magnetotactic bacteria and migratory animals are among organisms that exploit magnetism. Biogenic magnetization not only is of fundamental interest, but also has industrial potential. However, the key factor(s) that enable biogenic magnetization in coordi...
