This project seeks to genetically endow magnetism to various organisms by utilizing the biosynthesis of magnetosomes from magnetotactic bacteria. By reprogramming E. coli and exploring eukaryotic hosts, the aim is to create a toolkit for producing magnetic nanoparticles for applications in biotechnology.
An immensely valuable asset to the field of synthetic biology would be a means to genetically endow magnetism to living organisms, which is still an unsolved challenge due to the lack of appropriate tools.
In contrast, biomagnetism is innate to magnetotactic bacteria, mud-dwelling microbes which as geomagnetic sensors biomineralize iron nanocrystals with exceptional properties, the magnetosomes.
However, transplantation of magnetosome biosynthesis has remained unachieved for many years, owing to…
