Desulfovibrio magneticus

Species of bacterium

Desulfovibrio magneticus is an anaerobic, Gram-negative, sulfate-reducing bacteria originally sourced from freshwater sediments in Wakayama, Japan but have also been found in the deep sea, indicating their ability to thrive in aquatic environments. D. magneticus are classified as magnetotactic bacteria with the ability to produce magnetite particles. Since its discovery, further research has revealed the importance of D. magneticus and the magnetosomes they produce in the development of medical devices, reduction of nutrient-rich dead zones, and fossilization methods.
