TL;DR: A series of studies that showed how changes in environmental factors such as temperature, pH, external Fe concentration, external magnetic fields, static or dynamic fluid conditions, and nutrient availability or concentrations can all affect the biomineralization of magnetite magnetosomes in MTB are reviewed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical composition and micro-structural characteristics of bacterial magnetosomes extracted from the magnetotactic bacterial strain Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense were analyzed using highresolution transmission electron microscopy combined with selected-area electron diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis.

TL;DR: Direct Transmission Electron Microscopy evidence is reported that division occurs at a central point of the cell and the chain, cleaving the magnetosome chain in two, and the new magnetosomes chain relocates rapidly to the centre of the daughter cell.

TL;DR: High resolution imaging of magnetosomes synthesized at the different pH values, revealed a large range of morphologies and sizes, which illustrate the impact of environmental conditions on the formation of magnetite crystals by MTB.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors adapted an experimental technique for characterizing the magnetotactic bacteria and simplified it by transferring the burden to literal and numerical computation, which is an advantageous tradeoff.
