Image-based physical characterization of magnetotactic bacteria from an environmental sample
Mara Smite, Mihails Birjukovs, Mila Sirinelli-Kojadinovic +10
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a diverse group of microorganisms that are able to biomineralize magnetic nanoparticles. Most MTB remain uncultured, making population-level charac…
Explicit and fully automatic analysis of magnetotactic bacteria motion reveals the magnitude and length scaling of magnetic moments
Mara Smite, Mihails Birjukovs, Peteris Zvejnieks +3
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a diverse group of microorganisms whose movement can be directed via a magnetic field, which makes them attractive for applications in medicine and…
Physical model of serum supplemented medium flow in organ-on-a-chip systems
Viesturs Å ints, JÄnis CÄ«murs, Mihails Birjukovs +8
Creating a physiologically relevant shear stress in organ-on-a-chip (OOC) devices requires careful tailoring of microfluidic flow parameters. It is currently fairly common to use a…
Magnetic control of magnetotactic bacteria swarms
Mihails Birjukovs, Klaas Bente, Damien Faivre +2
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are of significant fundamental and practical interest, especially for applications such as drug delivery and general-purpose object manipulators and pa…
