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…
Extraction of initial dynamics of magnetic micro-convection
Mārtiņš Klevs, Andrejs Tatuļčenkovs, Lāsma Puķina-Slava +1
Complex fluid flows are important in many real-life problems. For an in-depth understanding, new and more elaborate methods of flow description are necessary. Often experimental an…
Physical model of serum supplemented medium flow in organ-on-a-chip systems
Viesturs Šints, Jānis Cīmurs, 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…
Tuning properties of phase-separated magnetic fluid with temperature
Laura Nelsone, Guntars Kitenbergs
Phase-separated magnetic fluids provide a very strong magnetic response () in a liquid state material. Even small fields can cause a notable material response, but this depen…
