Abstract :
Bulk magnetization measurements at room temperature of freeze dried magnetotactic bacterial cells, nonmagnetotactic bacterial cells, and extracted magnetosomes from magnetotactic cells are presented. The role of the magnetosome in the magnetotactic response of swimming cells is discussed.
