Abstract
Despite significant efforts by scientists in the development of advanced nanotechnology materials for smart diagnosis devices and drug delivery systems, the success of clinical trials remains largely elusive. In order to address this biomedical challenge, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have gained attention as a promising candidate due to their theranostic properties, which allow the simultaneous treatment and diagnosis of a disease. Moreover, MNPs have advantageous characteristics such as a larger surface area, high surface-to-volume ratio, enhanced mobility, mass transference and, more notably, easy manipulation under external magnetic fields. Besides, certain magnetic particle types based on the magnetite (Fe3O4) phase have already been FDA-approved, demonstrating biocompatible and low toxicity. Typically, surface modification and/or functional group conjugation are required to prevent oxidation and particle aggregation. A wide range of inorganic and organic molecules have been utilized to coat the surface of MNPs, including surfactants, antibodies, synthetic and natural polymers, silica, metals, and various other substances. Furthermore, various strategies have been developed for the synthesis and surface functionalization of MNPs to enhance their colloidal stability, biocompatibility, good response to an external magnetic field, etc. Both uncoated MNPs and those coated with inorganic and organic compounds exhibit versatility, making them suitable for a range of applications such as drug delivery systems (DDS), magnetic hyperthermia, fluorescent biological labels, biodetection and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Thus, this review provides an update of recently published MNPs works, providing a current discussion regarding their strategies of synthesis and surface modifications, biomedical applications, and perspectives.

Abstract
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTBs) and their organelles, magnetosomes, are intriguing options that might fulfill the criteria of using bacterial magnetosomes (BMs). The ferromagnetic crystals contained in BMs can condition the magnetotaxis of MTBs, which is common in water storage facilities. This review provides an overview of the feasibility of using MTBs and BMs as nanocarriers in cancer treatment. More evidence suggests that MTBs and BMs can be used as natural nanocarriers for conventional anticancer medicines, antibodies, vaccine DNA, and siRNA. In addition to improving the stability of chemotherapeutics, their usage as transporters opens the possibilities for the targeted delivery of single ligands or combinations of ligands to malignant tumors. Magnetosome magnetite crystals are different from chemically made magnetite nanoparticles (NPs) because they are strong single-magnetic domains that stay magnetized even at room temperature. They also have a narrow size range and a uniform crystal morphology. These chemical and physical properties are essential for their usage in biotechnology and nanomedicine. Bioremediation, cell separation, DNA or antigen regeneration, therapeutic agents, enzyme immobilization, magnetic hyperthermia, and contrast enhancement of magnetic resonance are just a few examples of the many uses for magnetite-producing MTB, magnetite magnetosomes, and magnetosome magnetite crystals. From 2004 to 2022, data mining of the Scopus and Web of Science databases showed that most research using magnetite from MTB was carried out for biological reasons, such as in magnetic hyperthermia and drug delivery.

Abstract
No magnetotrophic organism on Earth is known to use magnetic fields as an energy source or the storage of information. However, a broad diversity of life forms is sensitive to magnetic fields and employs them for orientation and navigation, among other purposes. If the magnetic field strength were much larger, such as that on planets around neutron stars or magnetars, metabolic energy could be obtained from these magnetic fields in principle. Here, we introduce three hypothetical models of magnetotrophic organisms that obtain energy via the Lorentz force. Even if an organism uses magnetic fields only as an energy source, but otherwise is relying on biochemistry, this organism would be by definition a magnetotrophic form of life as we do not know it.

Abstract
Continuous monitoring of pathogens finds applications in environmental, medical, and food industry settings. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) is one of the promising methods for real-time detection of bacteria and viruses. QCM is a technology that utilizes piezoelectric principles to measure mass and is commonly used in detecting the mass of chemicals adhering to a surface. Due to its high sensitivity and rapid detection times, QCM biosensors have attracted considerable attention as a potential method for detecting infections early and tracking the course of diseases, making it a promising tool for global public health professionals in the fight against infectious diseases. This review first provides an overview of the QCM biosensing method, including its principle of operation, various recognition elements used in biosensor creation, and its limitations and then summarizes notable examples of QCM biosensors for pathogens, focusing on microfluidic magnetic separation techniques as a promising tool in the pretreatment of samples. The review explores the use of QCM sensors in detecting pathogens in various samples, such as food, wastewater, and biological samples. The review also discusses the use of magnetic nanoparticles for sample preparation in QCM biosensors and their integration into microfluidic devices for automated detection of pathogens and highlights the importance of accurate and sensitive detection methods for early diagnosis of infections and the need for point-of-care approaches to simplify and reduce the cost of operation.

Abstract
The extensive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic might significantly contribute to the growing number of multiple drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. With the dwindling pipeline of new and effective antibiotics, we might soon end up in a post-antibiotic era, in which even common bacterial infections would be a challenge to control. To prevent this, an antibiotic-free strategy would be highly desirable. Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-mediated hyperthermia-induced antimicrobial therapy is an attractive option as it is considered safe for human use. Given that iron and zinc are critical for bacterial virulence, we evaluated the response of multiple pathogenic bacteria to these elements. Treatment with 1 mM iron and zinc precursors resulted in the intracellular biosynthesis of MNPs in multiple Gram-positive and Gram-negative disease-causing bacteria. The superparamagnetic nanoparticles in the treated bacteria/biofilms, generated heat upon exposure to an alternating magnetic field (AMF), which resulted in an increase in the temperature (5-6 °C) of the milieu with a subsequent decrease in bacterial viability. Furthermore, we observed for the first time that virulent bacteria derived from infected samples harbour MNPs, suggesting that the bacteria had biosynthesised the MNPs using the metal ions acquired from the host. AMF treatment of the bacterial isolates from the infected specimens resulted in a strong reduction in viability (3-4 logs) as compared to vancomycin/ciprofloxacin treatment. The therapeutic efficacy of the MNPs to induce bacterial death with AMF alone was confirmed ex vivo using infected tissues. Our proposed antibiotic-free approach for killing bacteria using intracellular MNPs is likely to evolve as a promising strategy to combat a wide range of bacterial infections.

Abstract
![]()
The mineralization
of collagen via synthetic procedures has been
extensively investigated for hydroxyapatite as well as for silica
and calcium carbonate. From a fundamental point of view, it is interesting
to investigate whether collagen could serve as a generic mineralization
template for other minerals, like iron oxides. Here, bio-inspired
coprecipitation reaction, generally leading to the formation of magnetite,
is used to mineralize collagen with iron hydroxides. Platelet-shaped
green rust crystals form outside the collagen matrix, while inside
the collagen, nanoparticles with a size of 2.6 nm are formed, which
are hypothesized to be iron (III) hydroxide. Mineralization with nanoparticles
inside the collagen solely occurs in the presence of poly(aspartic
acid) (pAsp). In the absence of pAsp, magnetite particles are formed
around the collagen. Time-resolved cryo-TEM shows that during the
coprecipitation reaction, initially a beam-sensitive phase is formed,
possibly an Fe3+–pAsp complex. This beam-sensitive
phase transforms into nanoparticles. In a later stage, sheet-like
crystals are also found. After 48 h of mineralization, ordering of
the nanoparticles around one of the collagen sub-bands (the a-band)
is observed. This is very similar to the collagen–hydroxyapatite
system, indicating that mineralization with iron hydroxides inside
collagen is possible and proceeds via a similar mechanism as hydroxyapatite
mineralization.

Abstract
The rapid development of the construction sector has led to massive use of raw construction materials, which are at risk of exhaustion. The problem is aggravated by the high demand for cement as binding powder and the mass production of clay bricks for construction purposes. This scenario has led to high energy consumption and carbon emissions in their production. In this regard, bio-cementation is considered a green solution to building construction, because this technology is environmentally friendly and capable of reducing carbon emissions, thus slowing the global warming rate. Most of the previously published articles have focused on microbiologically induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP), with the mechanism of bio-cementation related to the occurrence of urea hydrolysis as a result of the urease enzymatic activity by the microbes that yielded ammonium and carbonate ions. These ions would then react with calcium ions under favorable conditions to precipitate calcium carbonate. MICP was investigated for crack repair and the surface treatment of various types of construction materials. Research on MICP for the production of binders in construction materials has become a recent trend in construction engineering. With the development of cutting edge MICP research, it is beneficial for this article to review the recent trend of MICP in construction engineering, so that a comprehensive understanding on microbial utilization for bio-cementation can be achieved.

Abstract
The ever-increasing biomedical application of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) implies increasing demand in their scalable and high-throughput production, with finely tuned and well-controlled characteristics. One of the options to meet the demand is microbial production by nanoparticles-synthesizing bacteria. This approach has several benefits over the standard chemical synthesis methods, including improved homogeneity of synthesis, cost-effectiveness, safety and eco-friendliness. There are, however, specific challenges emanating from the nature of the approach that are to be accounted and resolved in each manufacturing instance. Most of the challenges can be resolved by proper selection of the producing organism and optimizing cell culture and nanoparticles extraction conditions. Other issues require development of proper continuous production equipment, medium usage optimization and precursor ions recycling. This mini-review focuses on the related topics in microbial synthesis of MNPs: producing organisms, culturing methods, nanoparticles characteristics tuning, nanoparticles yield and synthesis timeframe considerations, nanoparticles isolation as well as on the respective challenges and possible solutions.

Abstract
Micro-organisms contribute to Earth's mineral deposits through a process known as bacteria-induced mineral precipitation (BIMP). It is a complex phenomenon that can occur as a result of a variety of physiological activities that influence the supersaturation state and nucleation catalysis of mineral precipitation in the environment. There is a good understanding of BIMP induced by bacterial metabolism through the control of metal redox states and enzyme-mediated reactions such as ureolysis. However, other forms of BIMP often cannot be attributed to a single pathway but rather appear to be a passive result of bacterial activity, where minerals form as a result of metabolic by-products and surface interactions within the surrounding environment. BIMP from such processes has formed the basis of many new innovative biotechnologies, such as soil consolidation, heavy metal remediation, restoration of historic buildings and even self-healing concrete. However, these applications to date have primarily incorporated BIMP-capable bacteria sampled from the environment, while detailed investigations of the underpinning mechanisms have been lagging behind. This review covers our current mechanistic understanding of bacterial activities that indirectly influence BIMP and highlights the complexity and connectivity between the different cellular and metabolic processes involved. Ultimately, detailed insights will facilitate the rational design of application-specific BIMP technologies and deepen our understanding of how bacteria are shaping our world.

Abstract
Nanotechnology plays a big part in our modern daily lives, ranging from the biomedical sector to the energy sector. There are different physicochemical and biological methods to synthesise nanoparticles towards multiple applications. Biogenic production of nanoparticles through the utilisation of microorganisms provides great advantages over other techniques and is increasingly being explored. This review examines the process of the biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles mediated by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae, and their applications. Microorganisms offer a disparate environment for nanoparticle synthesis. Optimum production and minimum time to obtain the desired size and shape, to improve the stability of nanoparticles and to optimise specific microorganisms for specific applications are the challenges to address, however. Numerous applications of biogenic nanoparticles in medicine, environment, drug delivery and biochemical sensors are discussed.

Abstract
Various pathological processes in humans are associated with biogenic iron accumulation and the mineralization of iron oxide nanoparticles, especially magnetite. Ferritin has been proposed as a precursor to pathological magnetite mineralization. This study quantifies spectroscopically the release of ferrous ions from native ferritin and magnetoferritin as a model system for pathological ferritin in the presence of potent natural reducing agents (vitamins C and B2) over time. Ferrous cations are required for the transformation of ferrihydrite (physiological) into a magnetite (pathological) mineral core and are considered toxic at elevated levels. The study shows a significant difference in the reduction and iron release from native ferritin compared to magnetoferritin for both vitamins. The amount of reduced iron formed from a magnetoferritin mineral core is two to five times higher than from native ferritin. Surprisingly, increasing the concentration of the reducing agent affects only iron release from native ferritin. Magnetoferritin cores with different loading factors seem to be insensitive to different concentrations of vitamins. An alternative hypothesis of human tissue magnetite mineralization and the process of iron-induced pathology is proposed. The results could contribute to evidence of the molecular mechanisms of various iron-related pathologies, including neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Biotemplating presents a promising approach to improve the performance of inorganic materials via specific control over morphology, crystal structure, and the size of particles during synthesis and assembly. Among other biotemplates, solid binding polypeptides (SBPs) isolated for the material of interest provide high binding affinity and selectivity due to distinct combinations of functional groups found in amino acids. Nanomaterials assembled and synthesized with SBPs have found widespread applications from drug delivery to catalysis and energy storage due to their improved properties. In this study, the authors describe the identification of SBPs for binding to Li-ion battery cathode materials LiCoPO4, LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4, and LiMn2O4, which all have potential for improvement toward their theoretical values. The binding affinity of isolated peptides was assessed via phage binding assays and confirmed with electron microscopy in order to select for potential biotemplates. The authors demonstrate ten binding peptides for each material and analyze the sequences for enrichment in specific amino acids toward each structure (olivine and spinel oxide), as well as the test for specificity of selected sequences. In further studies, the authors believe that the isolated SBPs will serve as a template for synthesis and aid in assembly of cathode materials resulting in improved electrochemical properties for Li-ion batteries.

Bioinspired magnetic nanoparticles as multimodal photoacoustic, photothermal and photomechanical contrast agents. Sci Rep 2019; 9:887.

Abstract
Nanoparticles from magnetotactic bacteria have been used in conventional imaging, drug delivery, and magnetic manipulations. Here, we show that these natural nanoparticles and their bioinspired hybrids with near-infrared gold nanorods and folic acid can serve as molecular high-contrast photoacoustic probes for single-cell diagnostics and as photothermal agents for single-cell therapy using laser-induced vapor nanobubbles and magnetic field as significant signal and therapy amplifiers. These theranostics agents enable the detection and photomechanical killing of triple negative breast cancer cells that are resistant to conventional chemotherapy, with just one or a few low-energy laser pulses. In studies in vivo, we discovered that circulating tumor cells labeled with the nanohybrids generate transient ultrasharp photoacoustic resonances directly in the bloodstream as the basis for new super-resolution photoacoustic flow cytometry in vivo. These properties make natural and bioinspired magnetic nanoparticles promising biocompatible, multimodal, high-contrast, and clinically relevant cellular probes for many in vitro and in vivo biomedical applications.

Abstract
Bacterial magnetosome, synthetized by magnetosome-producing microorganisms including magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) and some non-magnetotactic bacteria (Non-MTB), is a new type of material comprising magnetic nanocrystals surrounded by a phospholipid bilayer. Because of the special properties such as single magnetic domain, excellent biocompatibility and surface modification, bacterial magnetosome has become an increasingly attractive for researchers in biology, medicine, paleomagnetism, geology and environmental science. This review briefly describes the general feature of magnetosome-producing microorganisms. This article also highlights recent advances in the understanding of the biochemical and magnetic characteristics of bacterial magnetosome, as well as the magnetosome formation mechanism including iron ions uptake, magnetosome membrane formation, biomineralization and magnetosome chain assembly. Finally, this review presents the potential applications of bacterial magnetosome in biomedicine, wastewater treatment, and the significance of mineralization of magnetosome in biology and geology.

Abstract
The discovery of biogenic magnetic nanoparticles (BMNPs) in the human brain gives a strong impulse to study and understand their origin. Although knowledge of the subject is increasing continuously, much remains to be done for further development to help our society fight a number of pathologies related to BMNPs. This review provides an insight into the puzzle of the physiological origin of BMNPs in organisms of all three domains of life: prokaryotes, archaea, and eukaryotes, including humans. Predictions based on comparative genomic studies are presented along with experimental data obtained by physical methods. State-of-the-art understanding of the genetic control of biomineralization of BMNPs and their properties are discussed in detail. We present data on the differences in BMNP levels in health and disease (cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and atherosclerosis), and discuss the existing hypotheses on the biological functions of BMNPs, with special attention paid to the role of the ferritin core and apoferritin.

Abstract
The development of mycorrhized pine seedlings grown in the presence of lead was assessed in order to investigate how higher plants can tolerate lead pollution in the environment. Examination with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that Pb uptake was prominent in the roots, while a smaller amount was found in pine needles, which requires symplastic uptake and root-to-shoot transfer. Lead was concentrated in nanocrystalline aggregates attached to the cell wall and, according to elemental microanalyses, is associated with phosphorus and chlorine. The identification of the nanocrystalline phase in roots and needles was performed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and synchrotron X-ray micro-diffraction (μ-XRD), revealing the presence of pyromorphite, Pb5[PO4]3(Cl, OH), in both roots and needles. The extracellular embedding of pyromorphite within plant cell walls, featuring an indented appearance of the cell wall due to a callus-like outcrop of minerals, suggests a biogenic origin. This biomineralization is interpreted as a defense mechanism of the plant against lead pollution.

Abstract
Amorphous magnesium-substituted calcium phosphate (AMCP) nanoparticles (75-150nm) form constitutively in large numbers in the mammalian gut. Collective evidence indicates that they trap and deliver luminal macromolecules to mucosal antigen presenting cells (APCs) and facilitate gut immune homeostasis. Here, we report on a synthetic mimetic of the endogenous AMCP and show that it has marked capacity to trap macromolecules during formation. Macromolecular capture into AMCP involved incorporation as shown by STEM tomography of the synthetic AMCP particle with 5nm ultra-fine iron (III) oxohydroxide. In vitro, organic cargo-loaded synthetic AMCP was taken up by APCs and tracked to lysosomal compartments. The AMCP itself did not regulate any gene, or modify any gene regulation by its cargo, based upon whole genome transcriptomic analyses. We conclude that synthetic AMCP can efficiently trap macromolecules and deliver them to APCs in a silent fashion, and may thus represent a new platform for antigen delivery.

Abstract
Magnetite (Fe3O4) is a widespread magnetic iron oxide encountered in many biological and geological systems, and also in many technological applications. The magnetic properties of magnetite crystals depend strongly on the size and shape of its crystals. Hence, engineering magnetite nanoparticles with specific shapes and sizes allows tuning their properties to specific applications in a wide variety of fields, including catalysis, magnetic storage, targeted drug delivery, cancer diagnostics and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, synthesis of magnetite with a specific size, shape and a narrow crystal size distribution is notoriously difficult without using high temperatures and non-aqueous media. Nevertheless, living organisms such as chitons and magnetotactic bacteria are able to form magnetite crystals with well controlled sizes and shapes under ambient conditions and in aqueous media. In these biomineralization processes the organisms use a twofold strategy to control magnetite formation: the mineral is formed from a poorly crystalline precursor phase, and nucleation and growth are controlled through the interaction of the mineral with biomolecular templates and additives. Taking inspiration from this biological strategy is a promising route to achieve control over the kinetics of magnetite crystallization under ambient conditions and in aqueous media. In this review we first summarize the main characteristics of magnetite and what is known about the mechanisms of magnetite biomineralization. We then describe the most common routes to synthesize magnetite and subsequently will introduce recent efforts in bioinspired magnetite synthesis. We describe how the use of poorly ordered, more soluble precursors such as ferrihydrite (FeH) or white rust (Fe(OH)2) can be employed to control the solution supersaturation, setting the conditions for continued growth. Further, we show how the use of various organic additives such as proteins, peptides and polymers allows for either the promotion or inhibition of magnetite nucleation and growth processes. At last we discuss how the formation of magnetite-based organic-inorganic hybrids leads to new functional nanomaterials.
