Summary Introduction

To review:

The behavior of magnetotactic species in case they are present in the Southern Hemisphere instead of the Northern Hemisphere.

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.
