Introduction to Magnetotactic Bacteria
Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense (also referred to as MSR-1) is a gram negative magnetotactic bacteria that is found in shallow fresh water and sediment. They are characterized by a spirillial morphology with flagella at each end of the cell. They are able to orient themselves based on Earth’s magnetic field (magnetotaxis) due to special organelles called magnetosomes.
