Experimental analysis of diverse actin-like proteins from various magnetotactic bacteria by functional expression in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense

ABSTRACT Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) produce magnetosomes, which are sensory organelles consisting of nanocrystals of a magnetic iron mineral enclosed by membranes. In the well-characterized Magnetospirillum species of the Alphaproteobacteria, magnetosomes align and form highly ordered chains along...
