Precipitation of Fe_3O_4 in Magnetotactic Bacteria
Abstract
The magnetotactic bacterium A. magnetotacticum contains ferrous ions, a low density hydrous ferric oxide, a high density hydrous ferric oxide (ferrihydrite) and Fe_3O_4, which is precipitated by partial reduction of the ferrihydrite precursor.
