Background Desulfovibrio magneticus (strain ATCC 700980 / DSM 13731 / RS-1) is a sulfate-reducing Gram-negative bacterium which synthesizes intracellular magnetite particles. It produces irregular, membrane-bound magnetite particles, unlike other magnetite-producing bacteria which contain crystalline magnetite in the cytoplasm. Desulfovibrio magneticus does not migrate along a magnetic field but swims randomly. (HAMAP: DESMR)
