Molecular Microbiology, Volume 112, Issue 5, Page 1423-1439, November 2019., 2019 MipZ homologs have been identified as regulators of cell division in alphaproteobacteria, but their functional conservation and distribution among species are still poorly investigated. Here, we show that Magnetosprillum gryphiswaldense contains two MipZ paralogs with distinct localization patterns and functions.

Unlocking the Potential of Magnetotactic Bacteria as Magnetic Hyperthermia Agents
Small, Volume 15, Issue 41, October 8, 2019., 2019 This study shows that magnetotactic bacteria, microorganisms that biomineralize chains of magnetic nanoparticles, present high potential as magnetic hyperthermia agents. Experimental results demonstrate that the structure of these chains is perfect to enhance the heating efficiency.

Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of the C-terminal domain of MamM, a magnetosome-associated protein from Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1. [PDF]
Acta Crystallogr Sect F Struct Biol Cryst Commun, 2012 MamM is a unique magnetosome-associated protein that shares substantial homology with cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) proteins, a group of heavy-metal-ion efflux transporters that participate in metal-ion homeostasis in all domains of life. Magnetotactic bacteria utilize CDF proteins in iron-oxide biomineralization and in magnetosome formation. Here,

BioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Natural enzyme mimics have attracted considerable attention due to leakage of enzymes and their easy denaturation during their storage and immobilization procedure. Here in this study, for the first time, a new iron oxide hydroxide, ferrihydrite – Fe1.44O0.32 (OH) 3.68 magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by bacterial strain named Comamonas ...

The Study of Microbial Physiology Under Microoxic Conditions Is Critical but Neglected
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.Microbial physiology is mainly studied under aerobic or anaerobic/anoxic conditions, neglecting microbial behaviours in diverse microoxic conditions. The current article revisits the definition of microoxia in light of recent developments in oxygen‐sensing technology and emphasises the need to understand microbial physiology and growth behaviours of ...

Contrast Media &Molecular Imaging, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) with chemically synthesized nanoparticles is currently used in clinical trials as it destroys tumor cells with an extremely localized deposition of thermal energy. In this paper, we investigated an MFH protocol based on magnetic nanoparticles naturally produced by magnetotactic bacteria: magnetosomes.

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 20, May 29, 2025.This study explores the structural heterogeneity and evolutionary adaptations of heteromultimeric bacterioferritins. Hetero‐Bfrs, evolved from either a homo‐Bfr or Ftn by gene duplications, differ from homo‐Bfrs substantially in the mechanisms underpinning iron oxidation and reduction despite high similarity in overall structure.
