Abstract excerpt
Magnetotactic bacteria utilize magnetosomes to navigate along magnetic fields and employ photosensitive proteins to respond to light. However, whether a synergistic mechanism exists between phototaxis and magnetotaxis remains unclear. To investigate the cooperative roles of the magnetosensitive protein Amb0994 and the photosensitive protein Amb2291 under magnetic reversal and coupled magneto-optical conditions,...
