Description

Repository contents:

1) Images obtained in velocimetry and magnetic moment measurement experiments with magnetotactic bacteria (MTB);

2) Code used to detect MTB from images, reconstruct MTB trajectories, and determine their magnetic moment, size and velocity statistics (Wolfram Mathematica & Python);

3) Code output: MTB properties and trajectory data, as well as relevant statistics in the form of .pdf and .svg images, .csv and compressed .txt files, .pkl and .wxf binary formats, in addition to videos, other figures, and code snapshots in .pdf format;
