A Preliminary Report on the Isolation and Identification of Magnetotactic bacteria from Iran Environment
Several species of Magnetotactic bacteria have been discovered recently. These bacteria synthesize intracellular magnetic nanoparticles in specific sizes and shapes and arrange them in chains. These particles called magnetosomes and can be used for drug-delivery, cell-targeting and hyperthermia. Magnetotactic bacteria navigate along the magnetic field; this process is known as ‘magnetotaxis’ wh...
متن کاملMultiple evolutionary origins of magnetotaxis in bacteria.
Magnetosomes are intracellular, iron-rich, membrane-enclosed magnetic particles that allow magnetotactic bacteria to orient in the earth's geomagnetic field as they swim. The magnetosomes of most magnetotactic bacteria contain iron oxide particles, but some magnetotactic species contain iron sulfide particles instead. Phylogenetic analyses of small subunit ribosomal RNA sequences showed that al...
متن کاملHow magnetotactic bacteria make magnetosomes
Magnetotactic bacteria contain chains of magnetosomes that comprise a permanent magnetic dipole in each cell. In two separate, recent papers, Scheffel et a/. and Komeili et a/. describe the roles of the proteins MamJ and MamK in magnetosome chain formation. Here, we describe the two studies and highlight questions that must be addressed in future investigations of how magnetotactic bacteria con...
متن کاملMagnetotactic Bacteria and Their Significance for P Systems and Nanoactuators
In the framework of the dialog between P systems and Microbiology, in this paper we focus on the magnetotactic behavior of magnetotactic bacteria, namely the orientation along the Earth’s geomagnetic field lines. Magnetic properties and magnetotactic behavior could be used to obtained microand nanoactuators for the desired distribution at nanometer level of either intact magnetotactic bacteria ...
