Fig. 7: HLp binds to genomic DNA in vivo.

Airyscan imaging of E. coli cells expressing HLp and HMfB (positive control) with DAPI dye, compared to negative controls transformed with the empty vector (EV), the vector expressing CsUb, and the uninduced HLp sample (-IPTG). The left column presents the brightfield image with the subtracted background. The second column displays the maximum intensity projection of fluorescence. The third one is the overlap, and the last column shows the segmented bacteria outline on top of the fluorescence channel. Scale bar: 5 µm. All experiments were performed three times with independently grown bacterial cultures, yielding similar results. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
