Seamount MTB and identification of the magnetic crystals. Panels a1 and b1: Magnetotactic cocci having single chains of octahedral and prismatic magnetite magnetosomes. Panel c1 and d1: Vibrioid MTB and dumbbell-shaped MTB. Panels a2, b2, c2 and d2: Magnified images of magnetosomes. Coloured circles indicate analysis points for the EDXS analyses shown in a3, b3, c3 and d3. Electron diffraction images of the red star magnetosomes are shown in a4 and b4. The inset in b1 shows a flagella base platform comprising 19 individual flagella that are arranged in a 3:4:5:4:3 array.
