Magnetosome Gene Duplication as an Important Driver in the Evolution of Magnetotaxis in the <italic toggle="yes">Alphaproteobacteria</italic>

ABSTRACT The evolution of microbial magnetoreception (or magnetotaxis) is of great interest in the fields of microbiology, evolutionary biology, biophysics, geomicrobiology, and geochemistry. Current genomic data from magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), the only prokaryotes known to be capable of sensing...
