We present a thorough theoretical analysis of the magnetic torque on microfabricated elements with dimensions in the range of 100 to 500 {\mu}m and magneto-somes of magnetotactic bacteria of a few {\mu}m length. We derive simple equations for field dependent torque and magnetic shape anisotropy that...
