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 chemically stratified environments. Current magneto-aerotaxis models fail to explain the occurrence of MTB far below t...
