Fig 1

(A) TEM micrograph of a wild-type AMB-1 cell. The electron-dense particles make up a magnetosome chain. (B) Cellular organization of the magnetosome compartment. MamO promotes the nucleation of magnetite within inner membrane invaginations. (C) Domain structure of the three biomineralization factors discussed in the text. “c” represents a CXXCH c-type cytochrome motif.
