Magnetosome
Magnetosomes are structures formed from crystals of magnetic materials such as greigite Fe3S4 or magnetite Fe3O4 that are found in magnetotactic bacteria.
They measure between 35 and 120 nm and are aligned inside these bacteria which, subjected to the Earth's magnetic field, can follow the lines of force to reach environments favourable to their growth. They are said to move by magnetotactism.
