Petroff et al study the magnetotactic properties of multicellular magnetotactic bacteria from Little Sippewissett salt marsh.
Magnetotactic bacteria swim along geomagnetic field lines to navigate sediments. Using microfluidics and simulations, this study shows their motility is optimised, revealing how evolution fine-tunes life for challenging environments.
Magnetotactic bacteria optimally navigate natural pore networks
Diverse magnetotactic bacteria are adapted to the local geomagnetic field and grain size to maximize their swimming speed through the pore space.

Diving through the purple sulfur bacteria layer of Fayetteville Green Lake with our ROV last month. This is the most intense density of PSB that I've seen in many years!
