Abstract
Magnetotactic bacteria represent a group of heterogeneous, gram-negative aquatic prokaryotes with a broad range of morphological types, including vibrioid, coccoid, rod and spirillum. Magnetotactic bacteria (MTBs) possess the adroitness to passively align and actively swim along the magnetic field. Magnetosomes are the symbolic, nano-ranged intracellular structures of MTB, which comprise magnetic iron-bearing inorganic crystals enveloped by an organic membrane, and are dedicated organelles for their magnetotactic lifestyle. Magnetosomes endow high and even dispersion in aqueous solutions compared with artificial magnetites, asserting them as paragon nanomaterials. MTB and magnetosomes provide high technological potential in science, engineering, medicines, and technology.
