Engineering Magnetotactic Bacteria as Medical Microrobots. [PDF]
Adv MaterMagnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are living microorganisms that produce magnetosomes for navigation using the Earth's geomagnetic field. Their built‐in magnetic components, along with their intrinsic and/or modified biological functions, make them one of the most promising platforms for making future living and programmable microrobots.

Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of a Novel Uncultivated Magnetotactic Coccus Harbouring Multi-Chain Magnetosomes. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepA novel marine magnetotactic coccus, strain HHB‐1, was isolated from intertidal sediments in Houhai Bay, China. HHB‐1 cells are large coccoid–ovoid bacteria that contain multiple chains of prismatic magnetite magnetosomes and conspicuous Ca/Mg‐rich polyphosphate granules.

Identification and Genomic Characterization of Two Previously Unknown Magnetotactic Nitrospirae
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a group of microbes that biomineralize membrane-bound, nanosized magnetite (Fe3O4), and/or greigite (Fe3S4) crystals in intracellular magnetic organelle magnetosomes. MTB belonging to the Nitrospirae phylum can form up to

Interactions Between Active Matters and Endogenous Fields. [PDF]
Adv MaterThis review synthesizes endogenous field information and computational methods in contexts such as cancer, wounds, and biofilms. It organizes NAMs and AAMs by sensing, transmitting, and executing functions, compares their limitations, and from these contrasts proposes design strategies for next‐generation AAMs, offering perspectives to foster ...

Ecology and Spatial Distribution of Magnetotactic Bacteria in Araguaia River Floodplain. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepMagnetotactic bacteria, with their unique intracellular magnetic nanocrystals and magnetic field orientation, are widespread in aquatic environments. However, the discovery of these bacteria in the Araguaia River, a part of two crucial biomes in South America, the Cerrado and the Amazon, marks a significant breakthrough.
