Synthesis and Characterization (2009, background): “Magnetosomes are membrane-enclosed inorganic crystals consisting either of the magnetic minerals magnetite (Fe3O4) or greigite (Fe3S4) [7, 52, 184].”
Searching for single domain magnetite in the “pseudo‐single‐domain” sedimentary haystack: Implications of biogenic magnetite preservation for sediment magnetism and relative paleointensity determinations (2012, background): “[10] Magnetotactic bacteria mineralize membrane-enclosed magnetite or greigite magnetosomes with SD sizes [e.g., Bazylinski and Frankel, 2004; Faivre and Schüler, 2008; Kopp and Kirschvink, 2008] that are ideal for paleomagnetic recording when magnetosomes are incorporated into sediments as…”
Properties of intracellular magnetite crystals produced by Desulfovibrio magneticus strain RS-1 (2006, background): “controlled mineralization (BCM) of intracellular magnetite [1–3] and the biologically-induced mineralization (BIM) of magnetite, goethite, lepidocrocite, ferrihydrite, and other iron oxides [4–7] have been extensively studied.”
Biomineralization, crystallography and magnetic properties of bullet-shaped magnetite magnetosomes in giant rod magnetotactic bacteria (2010, background): “Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) have the ability of synthesizing intracellular nanometer-sized magnetite (Fe3O4) and/or greigite (Fe3S4) magnetosomes, which are usually organized into chain structures (Bazylinski and Frankel, 2004; Faivre and Schüler, 2008; Komeili, 2007).”

Modes of Biomineralization of Magnetite by Microbes (2007, background): “By producing SD particles, the bacterium has maximized the remanent magnetic moment of the individual grains, and by arranging the grains in chains, it has also maximized the magnetic moment of the cell for the number and size of magnetosomes produced ( Bazylinski and Frankel 2004 ).”
