Abstract: Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) have the unique ability to generate electricity, it has magnetic particles surrounded by a biomembrane to form the magnetosome organelle. Magnetotactic bacteria have the magnetic properties which can be used in several biotechnological applications. Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) have biomineralized intracellular nanoparticles of magnetite (magnetosomes). This unique characteristic of MTB can be used to generate electricity by means of Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction. This paper discusses the possibility that MTB can potentially be used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, using the principle of Electromagnetic Induction
