Abstract
Calculations of magnetic susceptibility of magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) cul ture are reported. The model was elaborated with regard to the effect of ch emotaxis for two different geometrical compositions of the experiment. The results obtained allow one to determine concentration of MTB from magnetic measurements. It was shown that the characteristic parameters of chemotaxis can be extracted from the dependencies of the susceptibility on magnetic f ield strength. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
