Genomic Expansion of Magnetotactic Bacteria Reveals an Early Common Origin of Magnetotaxis with Lineage-specific Evolution [PDF]
The origin and evolution of magnetoreception, which in diverse prokaryotes and protozoa is known as magnetotaxis and enables these microorganisms to detect Earth’s magnetic field for orientation and navigation, is not well understood in evolutionary ...

A gradient-forming MipZ protein mediating the control of cell division in the magnetotactic bacterium Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense [PDF]
Cell division needs to be tightly regulated and closely coordinated with other cellular processes to ensure the generation of fully viable offspring.

EMCD real space maps of Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum
In this study we combine energy loss magnetic circular dichroism (EMCD) and energy filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) to map magnetic properties of nanoparticles. We show that it is a functional tool for investigating the magnetic behaviour of bio-mineralized magnetite crystals of Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum.

Three strains of helical, magnetotactic bacteria, SO-1T, SP-1T and BB-1T, were isolated from freshwater sediments collected from three distinct locations in European Russia. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the strains belong to the genus Magnetospirillum. Strains SO-1T and SP-1T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Magnetospirillum

Spatiotemporal Organization of Chemotaxis Pathways in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) use the geomagnetic field for navigation in aquatic redox gradients. However, the highly complex signal transduction networks in these environmental microbes are poorly understood. Here, we analyzed the localization of selected chemotaxis proteins to spatially and temporally resolve chemotaxis array ...

The magnetosome model: insights into the mechanisms of bacterial biomineralization. [PDF]
Though the most ready example of biomineralization is the calcium phosphate of vertebrate bones and teeth, many bacteria are capable of creating biominerals inside their cells.
