Desulfovibrio magneticus
# Desulfovibrio magneticus

Desulfovibrio magneticus is a bacterium. It is sulfate-reducing and is notable for producing intracellular single-domain-sized magnetite particles, making it magnetotactic. Its type strain is $RS-1^T$ (=ATCC $700980^T$ =DSM $13731^T).$

D. magneticus is particularly noted for its anisotropic, bullet-shaped magnetosomes, unusual amongst magnetotactic bacteria.
