Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are widespread, motile, diverse prokaryotes that biomineralize
a unique organelle called the magnetosome. Magnetosomes consist of a nano-sized crystal …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MB) are remarkable organisms with the ability to exploit the earth's
magnetic field for navigational purposes. To do this, they build specialized compartments …

Microbes and microbiology are seldom encountered in philosophical accounts of the life
sciences. Although microbiology is a well-established science and microbes the basis of life …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are ubiquitous aquatic microorganisms that incorporate iron
