Abstract
The curiosity of “magneticians” has recently extended to magnetic substances synthesised by some living organisms: bacteria, bees, pigeons,dolphins. . . The list gets longer every year. This is one aspect of magnetobiology, which also studies the influence of magnetic fields on the growth of plants or on animal metabolism. The magnetic properties of organic matter, whether living or inert, will be treated in the first part of this chapter.
