  abstract = {{T}he occurrence of magnetotactic bacteria ({MTB}) on a {T}unisian marine coast exposed to heavy metals pollution ({S}fax, {G}ulf of {G}abes, {M}editerranean {S}ea) was investigated. {T}he {MTB} population of this {S}outhern {M}editerranean coast was compared to the {MTB} populations previously investigated on the {F}rench {N}orthern {M}editerranean coast. {A} dominant {MTB} coccus morphotype was observed by microscopy analysis. {B}y pyrosequencing technology, the analysis of the 16{S} ribosomal {RNA} (r{DNA}) revealed as much as 33 operational taxonomic sequence units ({OTU}s) close to sequences of {MTB} accessible in the databases. {T}he majority were close to {MTB} sequences of the "{M}ed group" of alpha-{P}roteobacteria. {A}mong them, a dominant {OTU}_001 (99 % of the {MTB} sequences) affiliated within the {M}agnetococcales order was highlighted. {I}nvestigating the capacities of this novel bacterium to be used in bioremediation and/or depollution processes could be envisaged.},
