Did marine life in the palaeocene use a #compass?
Based on a sophisticated method, an international team has succeeded in mapping #magnetic domains in giant fossilised magnetic #microparticles: these may have served as compasses for ancient organisms

.@KaylaStoy & @wc_ratcliff explore a #PLOSBiology study which shows that #multicellular #magnetotactic #bacteria form obligately multicellular consortia of genetically diverse cells with rudimentary division of labor Paper: https://plos.io/460zcGC Primer: https://plos.io/3LnqVD1

#Multicellular #magnetotactic #bacteria (MMB) have no unicellular stage. @SchaibleGeorge @environmicrobio &co's study of MMB consortia shows that individual cells are not genetically identical & have significant metabolic differentiation #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/460zcGC
