AB - To improve the efficiency of magnetosome extraction, a lysozyme expressing strain of
Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1, named MLE was constructed. Compared to wild type, MLE
showed no significant differences in cell growth and magnetosome formation. Colorimetric monitoring and
transmission electron microscopy confirmed that MLE cells could be disrupted more effectively following freeze
thaw treatment. Importantly, extraction of magnetosomes from the engineered strain could be easily performed
on a large scale.
