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 were discovered almost 30 years ago, and for many years and many
different reasons, the number of researchers working in this field was few and progress was …

Although the mineral magnetite (Fe3O4) is precipitated biochemically by bacteria, protists,
and a variety of animals, it has not been documented previously in human tissue. Using an …

Introduction to Geomicrobiology is a timely and comprehensive overview of how microbial
life has affected Earth's environment through time. It shows how the ubiquity of …

The sequestration of sulfur within sedimentary pyrite is a major sink in the global
biogeochemical sulfur cycle and has consequent impacts on the related cycles of carbon …

Greigite (Fe3S4) is an authigenic ferrimagnetic mineral that grows as a precursor to pyrite
during early diagenetic sedimentary sulfate reduction. It can also grow at any time when …

Bacterial cells, growing naturally in freshwater and marine environments or experimentally
in culture, can precipitate a variety of authigenic iron minerals. With the vast majority of …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a diverse group of microorganisms with the ability to orient
and migrate along geomagnetic field lines. This unique feat is based on specific intracellular …

Magnetotactic bacteria, which most commonly live within the oxic-anoxic transition zone
(OATZ) of aquatic environments, produce intracellular crystals of magnetic minerals …

Engineering living microorganisms to enhance green biomanufacturing for the development
of sustainable and carbon‐neutral energy strategies has attracted the interest of researchers …
