🧲 Beyond magnetosomes, magnetotactic bacteria act as P, N & S reservoirs, storing polyphosphate, nitrate and sulfur in natural sediments

🔬 First quantitative evidence linking MTB inclusions to elemental cycling and revealing their metabolic versatility and biogeochemical importance
Beyond magnetosomes: ubiquitous and diverse intracellular inclusions expand the role of magnetotactic bacteria in biogeochemical cycling
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are capable of accumulating and storing intercellular pools containing phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen and carbon. Yet, the metabolic pathways connected with their intracellu...
