Desulfovibrio magneticus is a bacterium. It is sulfate-reducing and is notable for producing intracellular single-domain-sized magnetite particles, making it magnetotactic. Its type strain is RS-1T (=ATCC 700980T =DSM 13731T).
D. magneticus is particularly noted for its anisotropic, bullet-shaped magnetosomes, unusual amongst magnetotactic bacteria.
