Competitive and cooperative anisotropy in magnetic nanocrystal chains of magnetotactic bacteria
Dimi Koulialias,Inés García-Rubio,Lilah Rahn-Lee,Arash Komeili,Jörg F. Löffler,Andreas U. Gehring,Michalis Charilaou +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of cellular magnetic dipoles by chain assemblies of stable single-domain magnetite nanocrystals is a characteristic feature in magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), and the dipole strength depends on the competition or cooperation between the various anisotropic energy contributions, mainly between the magnetocrystalline and the interaction-induced shape anisotropy.

Ferrosomes are iron storage organelles formed by broadly conserved gene clusters in bacteria and archaea
Carly R. Grant,Arash Komeili +1 more
TL;DR: This work establishes ferrosomes as a new class of lipid-bounded iron storage organelles and sets the stage for studying ferrosome formation and structure in diverse microorganisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
McaA and McaB control the dynamic positioning of a bacterial magnetic organelle
Juan Wan,Caroline L. Monteil,Azuma Taoka,Gabriel Ernie,Ki Yeob Park,Matthieu Amor,Elias Taylor-Cornejo,Christopher T. Lefèvre,Arash Komeili +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that the fragmented nature of magnetosome chains in magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 is controlled by genes mcaA and mcaB .
Posted ContentDOI
Mapping the genetic landscape of biomineralization in Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 with RB-Tnseq
TL;DR: In this paper, random barcoded transposon mutagenesis (RB-TnSeq) was used to identify the global genetic requirements for magnetosome formation under different growth conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Analysis of Biomineralization Genes in Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1
TL;DR: Genetic studies of MTB indicate that growth conditions affect which genes are required for biomineralization and that some MAI genes may have more nuanced functions than was previously understood.
