Abstract
Four species of magnetotactic bacteria have been detected in alkaline waters with pH 7.4-8.7. They were of coccoid to rod-like shape. Each of the species showed different patterns of movement. Two various types of magnetosomes, a chain-like arrangement and a scattered distributional pattern and a lateral polytrich flagellated type could be demonstrated with the coccoid species.
