This genetic element, termed the magnetosome island ❋ Jean-Baptiste Rioux Et Al. (2010)
I know that the AH-84001 group recently reexamined the magnetite crystals that may be putative fossil crystals from martian magnetosome analogs. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Biological magnetites tend to have a normal distribution with a truncation, as they grow in biological organisms that tend to have a normal size distribution when they die and moreover are inhibited in growth when they hit the magnetosome membrane. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Given the lack of such a complex, and the lack of associative learning, magnetosome bacteria cannot, on Dretske's view, rightly be regarded as literally possessing full-fledged beliefs. ❋ Schwitzgebel, Eric (2006)
One of the genes, mamK has been described as encoding a prokaryotic actin-like protein which when it polymerizes forms in the cytoplasm filamentous structures that provide the scaffold for magnetosome alignment. ❋ Jean-Baptiste Rioux Et Al. (2010)
Boxed gene names are the mam genes belonging to the AMB-1 magnetosome island. ❋ Jean-Baptiste Rioux Et Al. (2010)
Further structural and functional studies of MamK proteins are required to understand how their specificities relate to the properties of the cytoskeletal filamentous structure associated with magnetosome chains. ❋ Jean-Baptiste Rioux Et Al. (2010)
The newly annotated genes are clustered in a genomic islet distinct and distant from the known magnetosome genomic island and most probably acquired by lateral gene transfer rather than duplication. ❋ Jean-Baptiste Rioux Et Al. (2010)

Although more genetic determinants of magnetosome biosynthesis have been identified in the past decade, the molecular mechanisms involved are still poorly understood. ❋ Jean-Baptiste Rioux Et Al. (2010)

A large genomic island, conserved among magnetotactic bacteria, contains the genes potentially involved in magnetosome formation. ❋ Jean-Baptiste Rioux Et Al. (2010)

MamK and MamJ are involved in magnetosome alignment, MamE is a predicted serine protease ❋ Jean-Baptiste Rioux Et Al. (2010)
The hydrophobic MamD and MamF are found exclusively in the magnetosome membrane; they are involved in regulating magnetite crystal size though the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unknown ❋ Jean-Baptiste Rioux Et Al. (2010)
