Magnetococcus marinus

Magnetococcus marinus is a type of bacteria that can sense magnetic fields, allowing it to navigate efficiently through water. It uses tiny magnetic particles inside its cells to detect Earth's magnetic field, helping it move toward favorable environments, especially in aquatic ecosystems. These bacteria are typically found in marine environments and play a role in nutrient cycling. Their ability to align and move along magnetic lines is a unique adaptation that enhances their survival and distribution in their watery habitats.
