Engineering Magnetotactic Bacteria as Medical Microrobots. [PDF]
Adv MaterAbstract Nature's ability to create complex and functionalized organisms has long inspired engineers and scientists to develop increasingly advanced machines. Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), a group of Gram‐negative prokaryotes that biomineralize iron and thrive in aquatic environments, have garnered significant attention from the ...

Uncovering the hidden complexity of multicellular magnetotactic bacteria. [PDF]
PLoS BiologyMulticellular magnetotactic bacteria (MMB) have a surprisingly complex multicellular lifestyle. A new study in PLOS Biology combines genomics, microscopy, and isotopic labeling to show that MMB form obligately multicellular consortia of genetically ...

The Nano-Magnetic Dancing of Bacteria Hand-in-Hand with Oxygen [PDF]
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2017 Magnetotactic bacteria are mostly microaerophilic found at the interface between oxic-anoxic zones. We report a magnetotactic bacterial strain isolated from an oil refinery sludge sample that grows aerobically in simple chemical growth medium, 9K.

The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2015 Magnetotactic bacteria are aquatic microorganisms with the ability to swim along the field lines of a magnetic field, which in their natural environment is provided by the magnetic field of the Earth. They do so with the help of specialized magnetic organelles called magnetosomes, vesicles containing magnetic crystals.
