Disease relevance of Magnetospirillum

• The evidence presented here shows that members of the metal-metabolizing genera, Geobacter and Magnetospirillum, fix atmospheric dinitrogen [1].

High impact information on Magnetospirillum

• A magnetosome-specific GTPase from the magnetic bacterium Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 [2].
• An iron-regulated gene, magA, encoding an iron transport protein of Magnetospirillum sp. strain AMB-1 [3].
• Magnetospirillum sp. AMB-1 is a freshwater magnetic bacterium which synthesizes intracellular particles of magnetite (Fe3O4) [3].
• Iron uptake systems were identified by global expression profiling of Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1. feo, tpd, and ftr, which encode ferrous iron transporters, were up-regulated under iron-rich conditions [4].
• The presumptive magnetosome protein Mms16 is a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) granule-bound protein (phasin) in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of Magnetospirillum

• Ferric iron reductase was purified from magnetotactic bacterium Magnetospirillum (formerly Aquaspirillum) magnetotacticum (ATCC 31632) to an electrophoretically homogeneous state [6].
• Cells of Geobacter metallireducens, Magnetospirillum strain AMB-1, Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum and Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense showed N2-dependent growth, the first anaerobically with Fe(III) as the electron acceptor, and the latter three species microaerobically in semi-solid oxygen gradient cultures [1].
• Nitrite reductase from the magnetotactic bacterium Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum. A novel cytochrome cd1 with Fe(II):nitrite oxidoreductase activity [7].
• Benzoate-CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.25), the initial enzyme of anaerobic benzoate degradation, was purified and characterized from Magnetospirillum sp. strain TS-6 grown under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions [8].
• We purified the nitrate reductase from the soluble fraction of Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum MS-1 [9].

Gene context of Magnetospirillum

• Cloning and characterization of a gene, mpsA, encoding a protein associated with intracellular magnetic particles from Magnetospirillum sp. strain AMB-1 [10].
• Evidence for two types of subunits in the bacterioferritin of Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum [11].
• N2-dependent growth and nitrogenase activity in the metal-metabolizing bacteria, Geobacter and Magnetospirillum species [1].
• Characterization of aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase gene defective mutant in Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 [12].
