A magnetotactic bacterial microrobot system is fabricated using magnetotactic bacteria with magnetic respon-siveness. Firstly, a dynamic model of magnetotactic bacteria MO-1 is established and the dynamic features of MO-1 cells in different magnetic fields are analyzed through simulation. The simulation results agree with the experimental ones. Then MO-1 cells are coated by rabbit anti-MO-1 polyclonal antibodies to construct MO-1 bacterial microrobots. The microrobots can bind Staphylococcus aureus based on the affinity of Fc fragment of antibody. Staphylococcus aureus can be captured and separated in microfluidic chip by MO-1 microrobots through a fabricated magnetic controlling system. The experimental re-sults show that the magnetotactic bacterial microrobot system constructed here can achieve the separation of Staphylococcus aureus effectively, suggesting its important role in medical detection and analysis.
