[The stochastic resonance of magnetosomes fixed in the cytoskeleton].
The rotation of microscopic magnetic particles, magnetosomes, embedded into the cytoskeleton and subjected to a magnetic field and thermal noise was considered. The dynamics of magnetosome is shown to comply with the conditions of the stochastic resonance under not too tight constraints on the character of particle fastening. The excursion of regular rotations attains the value of the order of radian, which facilitates explaining the biological effects of low-frequency weak magnetic fields and geomagnetic fluctuations.
