What are magnetotactic bacteria? Why do you choose Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1?
Magnetotactic bacteria, also known as magnetic bacteria, are an evolutionarily diverse group http://www.sciencemag.org/content/259/5096/803.short 1 of motile, Gram-negative eubacteria representing magnetotaxis.
Cultivated magnetotactic bacteria are among the minority. Among them, Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum MS-1 http://jb.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/140/2/720 2, Magnetospirillum gryphiswalden MSR-1 http://md1.csa.com/partners/viewrecord.php?requester=gs&collection=ENV&recid=3741674&q=The+isolation+of+a+new+magnetic+spirillum.&uid=791101605&setcookie=yes 3, and Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 http://www.springerlink.com/content/x942j5lw60j48865/ 4
