An acidic protein aligns magnetosomes along a filamentous structure in magnetotactic bacteria.

Nature - 2 Mar 2006

Scheffel André, Gruska Manuela, Faivre Damien, Linaroudis Alexandros, Plitzko Jürgen M, Schüler Dirk

Abstract excerpt

Magnetotactic bacteria are widespread aquatic microorganisms that use unique intracellular organelles to navigate along the Earth's magnetic field. These organelles, called magnetosomes, consist of membrane-enclosed magnetite crystals that are thought to help to direct bacterial swimming towards...
