Magnetotactic Bacteria Accumulate a Large Pool of Iron Distinct from Their Magnetite Crystals

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are ubiquitous aquatic microorganisms that form intracellular nanoparticles of magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) or greigite (Fe(3)S(4)) in a genetically controlled manner. Magnetite and greigite synthesis requires MTB to transport a large amount of iron from the environment. Most i...
