Influence of Crystal Shape and Orientation on the Magnetic Microstructure of Bullet-Shaped Magnetosomes Synthesized by Magnetotactic Bacteria

Magnetotactic Bacteria (MTB) are a group of microorganisms capable of biomineralizing magnetosomes. Magnetosomes are membrane-bound magnetic nanocrystals primarily composed of magnetite (Fe₃O₄) or greigite (Fe₃S₄). These magnetosomes are arranged in chains or specific orientations within bacterial cells, endowing the bacteria with a magnetic dipole...
