Magnetotactic bacteria for cancer therapy
Biotechnology Letters, 2014Cancer is characterized by anomalous cell growth. Conventional therapies face many challenges and hence alternative treatment methods are in great demand. In addition, nature offers the best inspiration and recently many therapies of natural origin have proved multi-targeted, multi-staged, and a multi-component mode of action against cancer ...

Ecophysiology of Magnetotactic Bacteria
2006Magnetotactic bacteria are a physiologically diverse group of prokaryotes whose main common features are the biomineralization of magnetosomes and magnetotaxis, the passive alignment and active motility along geomagnetic field lines. Magnetotactic bacteria exist in their highest numbers at or near the oxic–anoxic interfaces (OAI) of chemically ...

Geobiology of Magnetotactic Bacteria
2006MTB population dynamics and their contribution to iron cycling in modern chemically stratified environments have not been previously evaluated in a systematic fashion. Using the tools of modern molecular microbial ecology and mineralogy, it is possible to determine the population dynamics of magnetite and greigite producing MTB with respect to ...

Magnetosomes in Magnetotactic Bacteria
2006The ability of magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) to orient and migrate along magnetic field lines is basedon magnetosomes, which are membrane-enclosed intracellular crystals of a magnetic iron mineral. Thebiomineralization of magnetosomes is a process with genetic control over the accumulation of iron,the deposition of the magnetic crystal within a specific

Control of magnetotactic bacteria
2017Magnetotactic bacteria hold promise in targeted therapy and nano-medicine. Their size, motility, and magnetic properties would enable directional control towards diseased cells and deep seated regions within the human body. In this chapter, we review culturing methods of Magnetospirillum Magnetotacticum Strain MS-1 and M.

Magnetotactic bacteria: nanodrivers of the future
Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2015Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) represent a heterogeneous group of Gram-negative aquatic prokaryotes with a broad range of morphological types, including vibrioid, coccoid, rod and spirillum. MTBs possess the virtuosity to passively align and actively swim along the magnetic field. Magnetosomes are the trademark nano-ranged intracellular structures of MTB,

Magnetotactic Bacteria, Magnetosomes, and Nanotechnology
2014Magnetotactic bacteria are motile, mostly aquatic, ubiquitous prokaryotes whose direction of swimming is profoundly influenced by the Earth’s and other magnetic fields. These microorganisms biomineralize magnetosomes which are intracellular, tens of nanometer sized, membrane-bounded magnetic crystals of the minerals magnetite (Fe3O4) and greigite ...

Microgravity effects on magnetotactic bacteria
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1998An unusual group of iron bacteria has recently been discovered which form inclusion bodies containing a form of iron oxide known as magnetite (ferrosoferric oxide, Fe3O4.) The inclusions are of a nano-particle size, are encased within a protein envelope, and are called magnetosomes.
