Abstract
Magnetotactic bacteria can be regarded as model systems for studying the structural, chemical, and magnetic properties of arrangements of ferrimagnetic iron oxide and sulfide nanocrystals. The aim of the present chapter is to show how the size, shape, crystal structure, crystallographic orientation, and spatial arrangement of bacterial magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) and greigite (Fe3S4) crystals affect their magnetic properties. We present recent results obtained using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, including high-resolution TEM imaging and off-axis electron holography.
