Magnetotaxis in an anaerobic ciliate via tripartite syntrophy
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 30, July 2026. SignificanceMagnetotactic bacteria (MTB) swim along Earth’s magnetic field lines via genetically controlled biomineralization of nano-crystalline magnets, but magnetotaxis as a trait in eukaryotes remains poorly understood. Our findings show an anaerobic ...
