Summary Introduction
To review:
The behavior of magnetotactic species in case they are present in the Southern Hemisphere instead of the Northern Hemisphere.
Introduction:
Magnetotaxis is a stimulus process used by bacteria specifically by Gram-negative bacteria that respond and coordinate along with the magnetic field. The bacteria that follow magnetotaxis are termed as magnetotactic or magnetosome. The magnetotactic species of bacteria get arranged in a chain manner in response to magnetotaxis.
