  • The camera in an ordinary mobile phone could be used as a microscope for early, easy and cheap detection of common parasitical and bacterial diseases. (lu.se)
  • The project also includes researchers from Glasgow and Karolinska institutet in Stockholm, who have the medical expertise required for the project on bacterial and parasitical diseases, respectively. (lu.se)
  • Although most DNA is packaged in chromosomes within the nucleus, mitochondria also have a small amount of their own DNA. (medlineplus.gov)
  • For the current protocol, the bacterial cultures are grown in tubes and transferred into a Culture Plate. (integra-biosciences.com)
  • We show here that while the central DNA binding domain is essential for anchoring at parS , this interaction is not required for DNA condensation. (elifesciences.org)
  • Thus, the weak interaction between N. gonorrhoeae PriB and DNA might be compensated for by the strong interaction between PriB and PriA, which could result in allosteric activation of PriA's ATPase activity. (biomedcentral.com)
