Uncovering the hidden complexity of multicellular magnetotactic bacteria.

Published in: PLoS biology (2024)

Multicellular magnetotactic bacteria (MMB) have a surprisingly complex multicellular lifestyle. A new study in PLOS Biology combines genomics, microscopy, and isotopic labeling to show that MMB form obligately multicellular consortia of genetically diverse cells with rudimentary division of labor.
