Bacterioferritin of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense</named-content> Is a Heterotetraeicosameric Complex Composed of Functionally Distinct Subunits but Is Not Involved in Magnetite Biomineralization

ABSTRACT The biomineralization pathway of magnetite in magnetotactic bacteria is still poorly understood and a matter of intense debates. In particular, the existence, nature, and location of possible mineral precursors of magnetite are not clear. One possible precursor has been suggested to be ferr...
