The dynamics of iron uptake and magnetosome formation by the magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense was investigated at a broad range of pH, temperature and iron availability to evaluate the role of MTB in the iron biogeochemical cycle. Except at pH 5.0, all incubations have shown significant bacterial growth. However, magnetosome formation was limited at pH 8.0 and 9.0 as well as at 4°C, 10°C and 35°C. At optimal conditions (i.e., pH 7 and 28°C), the uptake rates of dissolved Fe(III) as a function of initial Fe concentration can be described by a Michaelis-Menten-type kinetic model with a maximum iron uptake rate, Vmax ,, of 11 × 10−12 μmoles cell−1 h−1 and an affinity constant, Ks of 26 μM Fe. High resolution imaging of magnetosomes synthesized at the different pH values, revealed a large range of morphologies and sizes, which illustrate the impact of environmental conditions on the formation of magnetite crystals by MTB.
