Abstract excerpt
Genetic analysis of bacterial magnetosome biomineralization has been hindered by the lack of an appropriate methodology for cultivation and genetic manipulation of most magnetotactic bacteria. In this report, a genetic system for Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense is described. The system includes a plating technique that allows the screening of magnetic vs non-magnetic colonies, and a protocol for the transfer of...
