Magnetic bacteria might soon be used for the production of novel biomaterials. A team of microbiologists at the University of Bayreuth led by Prof. Dr. Dirk Schüler developed a modular system for the ...

Say what you will about magnetotactic bacteria, they’re never disoriented. They contain their own compass needles, which are built of linked magnetosomes, nanosized magnetic particles. These ...

Kamil Gareev, Associate Professor at ETU "LETI," justified the prospects of using magnetotactic bacteria to treat malignant tumors. LETI researchers identified the main properties of magnetotactic ...

Scientists have shown that tiny crystals found inside bacteria provide a magnetic compass to help them navigate through sediment to find the best food. Scientists have shown that tiny crystals found ...

Magnetic bacteria might soon be used for the production of novel biomaterials. A team of microbiologists developed a modular system for the genetic reprogramming of bacteria, thereby turning the ...
