Magnetotactic bacteria optimization algorithm(MBOA) is an optimization algorithm based on the characteristics of magnetotactic bacteria, which is a kind of polyphyletic group of prokaryotes with the characteristics of magnetotaxis that make them orient and swim along geomagnetic field lines. In this paper, an improved MBOA is proposed. At first, it generates moments based on the interaction ene...

We investigate the swimming motion of rod-shaped magnetotactic bacteria affiliated with the Nitrospirae phylum in a viscous liquid under the influence of an externally imposed, time-dependent magnetic field. By assuming that fluid motion driven by the translation and rotation of a swimming bacterium is of the Stokes type and that inertial effects of the motion are negligible, we derive a new sy...

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) belong to several phyla. This class of microorganisms exhibits the ability magneto-aerotaxis. MTB synthesize biominerals in organelle-like structures called magnetosomes, which contain single-domain crystals magnetite (Fe3O4) or greigite (Fe3S4) characterized by a high degree structural and compositional perfection. Magnetosomes from dead could be preserved sediment...

Magnetotactic bacteria(MTB) display magnetotaxis ability because of biomineralization intracellular nanometer-sized, membrane-bound organelles termed magnetosomes. Despite having been discovered more than half a century, only few representatives MTB have isolated and cultured in the laboratory. In this study, we report genomic characterization novel marine magnetotactic spirillum strain SH-1 be...
