Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention is a separator for magnetotactic bacteria or magnetotactic microorganisms, which is used for separating and purifying magnetotactic bacteria or magnetotactic microorganisms in scientific research and production applications. Background technique
[0002] Magnetotactic bacteria (Magnetotactic bacteria) is a kind of bacteria that can form nano-scale magnetic particles - Magnetosomes (Magnetosome) in the body, and make directional movement under the action of an external magnetic field. Magnetosome particles synthesized in magnetotactic bacteria are a kind of natural magnetic nanomaterials (size between 30-120nm, the main component is Fe 3 o 4 and Fe 3 S 4 ), can be applied to high-tech fields such as information storage, biosensing technology, medical and health care, nano-medicine, electronics, communications, computers, etc. Japanese scholar Matsunaga predicted in 1991 that the magnetosomes of magnetotactic bacteria would be a new bio...
