Magnetite and Magnetotaxis in Algae

F. F. Torres de Araujo, M. A. Pires, R. B. Frankel and C. E. M. Bicudo

ABSTRACT

Magnetotactic algae of the genus Anisonema (Euglenophyceae) have been isolated from a coastal mangrove swamp in northeastern Brazil. The magnetotactic response is based on a permanent magnetic dipole moment per cell ~7 10-10 emu. Each cell contains many magnetite (Fe3O4) particles organized in chains.
