  Haha. Pedantry for future diyrs You can start easier today (thanks thoughtful USian industry!) from, otc https://www.himedialabs.com/us/m643a-mineral-modified-glutamate-medium-base-double-strength.html https://www.himedialabs.com/us/m643a-mineral-modified-glutam... Following, e.g. (thanks academia!) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/46007644_Enhancement_of_magnetotactic_bacterial_yield_in_a_modified_MSGM_medium_without_alteration_of_magnetosomes_properties https://www.researchgate.net/publication/46007644_Enhancemen... Also note they are better thought of as anaerobic. Also diyrs, if you're to wean off the Man, keep detailed notes (or at least back up your pdfs on tape)! Source: have tried basic MSGM "at home" for easier anaerobes, reasonably successful Found this, also seems diyable, not chips, but li batt anodes from beachsand (thanks the lowest end of springer-demia!) https://www.nature.com/articles/srep05623 https://www.nature.com/articles/srep05623
