Genome-Wide Identification of Essential and Auxiliary Gene Sets for Magnetosome Biosynthesis in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense</named-content>

ABSTRACT Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) stand out by their ability to manufacture membrane-enclosed magnetic organelles, so-called magnetosomes. Previously, it has been assumed that a genomic region of approximately 100 kbp, the magnetosome island (MAI), harbors all genetic determinants required for t...
