Magnetosomes are magnetic nanoparticles biosynthesized by magnetotactic bacteria. Due to a genetically strictly controlled biomineralization process, the ensuing magnetosomes have been envisioned as agents for biomedical and clinical applications. In the present work, we examine the stability parameters of magnetosomes isolated from Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense upon storage as a suspension in a buffer solution at 4∘C and N2 atmosphere for one year in the absence of antibiotics. The magnetic potency, measured by the saturation magnetization of the particle suspension [1], drops by 2/3 within this year - about ten times slower than at ambient air and room temperature. The particle size distribution, the integrity of the surrounding magnetosome membrane, the colloidal stability, and the biocompatibility turn out to be not severely affected by long-term storage. — [1] Mickoleit F., et al.
