Identification and Genomic Characterization of Two Previously Unknown Magnetotactic Nitrospirae

Identification and Genomic Characterization of Two Previously Unknown Magnetotactic Nitrospirae

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a group of microbes that biomineralize membrane-bound, nanosized magnetite (Fe3O4), and/or greigite (Fe3S4) crystals in intracellular magnetic organelle magnetosomes. MTB belonging to the Nitrospirae phylum can form up to several hundreds of Fe3O4 magnetosome crystal...
