Magnetic genes: Studying the genetics of biomineralization in magnetotactic bacteria.

PLoS genetics - 1 Feb 2020

McCausland Hayley C, Komeili Arash

Abstract excerpt

Many species of bacteria can manufacture materials on a finer scale than those that are synthetically made. These products are often produced within intracellular compartments that bear many hallmarks of eukaryotic organelles. One unique and elegant group of organisms is at the forefront of studies into the mechanisms of organelle formation and biomineralization. Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) produce organelles...
