· As particles get smaller, their magnetic properties, particularly with regard to temperature, also diminish. However, several strains of bacteria produce magnetite – fine, uniform nanoparticles that have desirable magnetic properties. These magneto tactic bacteria use a protein to form crystalline particles about 50 nanometers in size.
