Combined response of polar magnetotaxis to oxygen and pH: Insights from hanging drop assays and microcosm experiments
Abstract Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) combine passive alignment with the Earth magnetic field with a chemotactic response (magneto-chemotaxis) to reach their optimal living depth in Loungewear chemically stratified environments.Current magneto-aerotaxis models fail to explain the occurrence of MTB far below the oxic-anoxic interface and the coexist
