Diversity of <i>Magnetospirillum</i> Sp. from the Southern Coast of India

Abstract: Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment and have been identified from almost every continent; however, there are only a few reports of MTB from India. This article studies the diversity of cultivable MTB from the southern coast of India. Five strains of MTB have been identified in this study using gradient culturing; three of the five strains were isolated in pure culture. The strains identified are vibrioid to helical in morphology and grow microaerophilically in oxygen-sulphide… Show more

“…with several classes of Proteobacteria such as Alpha, Beta, and Gammaproteobacteria [55]. They can make use of the earth's magnetic field to accurately locate environments with a reduced amount of oxygen, (as they are micro-aerophilic in nature) especially in freshwaters, using a special organelle called magnetosomes [56].…”

“…Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense (MSR1) was purchased from Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen (DSMZ) Germany. Magnetospirillum RJS2 (KJ570852), RJS5 (KM289194), RJS6 (KT266803), and RJS7 (KT693285) were isolated and maintained in Magnetospirillum growth medium (MSGM) and oxygensulfide gradient medium (OSGM) using Hungate anaerobic technique (18)(19)(20)(21). The strains were subcultured anaerobically in minimal media MS-1.…”

“…Recently, magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) have emerged as a promising candidate for biosorption of metals (9)(10)(11). MTB are freshwater microaerophiles that consist of a membranous intracellular structure called magnetosomes formed during the biomineralization process (12). MTB's can accumulate iron by compartmentalization process and utilize it as a component for its metabolism purpose (13).…”
