Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) sequester iron from the environment to biomineralize magnetite or greigite nanoparticles in magnetosome organelles, though the necessity of intracellular iron storage for the formation process is still in question. Understanding the role of iron storage would make clear the contribution of MTB in geochemical iron cycling and its potential importance during the biosynthesis of application‐relevant magnetic nanoparticles. Herein, how scanning X‐ray fluorescence microscopy (SXFM) and nanoscale X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure (nano‐XANES) mapping can spatially and chemically identify intracellular iron species is reported, creating an opportunity to examine the role of iron storage in magnetite biomineralization at the single‐cell level. Fe K‐edge nano‐XANES measurements of Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense in varied iron media conditions and iron storage capacity reveal a significant quantity of intracellular iron heterogeneities through a distinction between formed magnetosomes and intracellular iron material. This intracellular iron component is found in both early and late stages of biomineralization. The capabilities of nano‐XANES in providing an experimental advantage in the multidisciplinary field of biomineralization are highlighted. |
