title: On the change in bacterial growth and magnetosome formation for Magnetospirillum sp. strain AMB-1 under different concentrations of reducing agents.
abstract: Magnetosome produced by Magnetospirillum AMB-1 is highly crystalline, monodisperse, bioengineerable and a better nanomagnetic material candidate for a broad range of applications, ranging from medicine, biology and electronics to aerospace engineering. Many efforts have been made to get the optimal growth conditions and improve the accumulation of magnetosome. Studies have showed that oxygen concentration is a key factor to the formation of magnetosome. The effects of various of reducing agents in different concentrations on the growth of Magnetospirillum AMB-1 and the corresponding magnetosome formation have been examined in our study. The results show that the growth of the bacterial cells and the synthesis of magnetosome are both influenced in the presence of different concentrations of reducing agents.
