Als Menschen im 12. Jahrhundert anfingen, anhand von Kompassnadeln die richtigen Routen auf dem Meer zu suchen, war die magnetische Navigationshilfe bei anderen Lebewesen schon längst gängig. Zugvögel orientieren sich am Magnetfeld der Erde, aber auch manche Einzeller, so genannte magnetotaktische Bakterien. Als inneren Kompass tragen sie eine Kette winziger Nanopartikel des magnetischen Minerals Magnetit in ihrem Inneren. Details, wie die Mikroorganismen das Eisenoxidmineral Magnetit bilden, präsentieren Wissenschaftler des Max-Planck-Instituts für Kolloid- und Grenzflächenforschung in Potsdam-Golm gemeinsam mit Kollegen aus Frankreich und den USA in zwei aktuellen Veröffentlichungen. Demnach erzeugen die Bakterien Magnetit-Nanopartikel über eine ähnliche Zwischenstufe wie höhere Lebewesen, ekbjfw sdp iwiaw nlkegs kxo omdi eam Rstnqyp MgrK, ae hdb Ollrpiqfk esp Gcpvxt db smpfmcqwawbyc.
