Crystallizing the function of the magnetosome membrane mineralization protein Mms6 [PDF]

, 2016
The literature on the magnetosome membrane (MM) protein, magnetosome membrane specific6 (Mms6), is reviewed. Mms6 is native to magnetotactic bacteria (MTB).

Detection of Sulfur Oxidizing Bacteria to Oxidize Hydrogen Sulfide in Biogas from Pig Farm by NGS and DNA Microarray Technique [PDF]

Nature Environment and Pollution Technology
A high concentration of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) released from pig farming is one of the major environmental problems affecting surrounding communities. In modern pig farms, the bioscrubber is used to eliminate H2S, which is found to be driven mainly by ...

The oxygen sensor MgFnr controls magnetite biomineralization by regulation of denitrification in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Magnetotactic bacteria are capable of synthesizing magnetosomes only under oxygen-limited conditions. However, the mechanism of the aerobic repression on magnetite biomineralization has remained unknown. In Escherichia coli and other bacteria,

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

mBio, 2023
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
