Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) synthesize intracellular nano-sized
minerals of magnetite and/or greigite magnetosomes for magnetic
orientation. They play important roles in global iron cycling and
sedimentary magnetism, and have a broad range of potential
applications in both biotechnological and biomedical fields.
However, because the majority of MTB in nature remain unculturable,
our understanding of these specific bacteria remains fairly
limited. This thesis describes the development of a novel approach
for effectively collecting, purifying and characterizing
uncultivated magnetotactic bacteria. The diversity, genomic
information and rock magnetic properties of various uncultivated
MTB are investigated and characterized using a combination of
biological and geophysical methods. The results will lead to a
better understanding of the biogeography and biomineralization
mechanisms of MTB in nature, and improve our knowledge of the
contributions of MTB to biogeochemical cycles of elements and
sedimentary magnetism. Dr. Wei Lin works at the Institute of
Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China
