Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, magnetotactic bacteria can survive in the southern hemisphere if the suitable environment is available for them. These bacteria requires freshwater and marine habitats and prefer environments that contain little to no oxygen means anaerobic conditions. This type of environment is also present in the southern hemisphere so we can conclude that this bacteria can survive in that environment.
