Some studies suggest that magnetic fields can induce changes in magnetotactic bacteria's behavior, morphology, signaling, and metabolism, while other studies indicate that these effects can vary depending on the bacterial strain and type of magnetic field applied.
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a unique group of microorganisms that orient and navigate along magnetic fields due to the presence of intracellular magnetic particles called magnetosomes. These bacteria have garnered significant interest for their potential applications in biotechnology, including drug delivery and environmental sensing. This synthesis explores the changes in magnetotactic bacteria when exposed to magnetic fields, focusing on their dynamics, morphology, genetic response, and functional parameters.

Metabolic and Functional Changes:
Magnetotactic bacteria exhibit diverse responses to magnetic fields, including changes in movement dynamics, morphology, genetic expression, and metabolic activity. These responses are species-specific and depend on the type and duration of magnetic field exposure. Understanding these changes is crucial for harnessing the potential of MTB in biotechnological applications such as targeted drug delivery and environmental monitoring.
