Magnetoreception and Magnetosomes in Bacteria

Magnetoreception and Magnetosomes in Bacteria edited by Dirk Schüler.

Magnetoreception or magnetotaxis in bacteria was discovered only some 30 years ago. All magnetotactic bacteria, which occur in many environments and display a remarkable diversity, synthesize magnetosomes, complex intracellular organelles that contain magnetic iron crystals. Recent developments in t...
