In many biotechnological processes, living microorganisms are used as biocatalysts.
Biochemical engineering science is becoming more aware that individual cells of an …

Microorganisms, such as bacteria, which might be present as contamination inside an
industrial food or pharmaceutical clean room process need to be identified on short time …

Treatment of bacteria with silver yields intense and highly specific surface-enhanced Raman
spectroscopy (SERS) spectra from various cellular chemical components located in the …

Bacteria are a major cause of infection. To fight disease and growing resistance, research
interest is focused on understanding bacterial metabolism. For a detailed evaluation of the …

Bacteria treated with sodium borohydride serve as a nucleating substrate for reduction of
silver ions that forms a rough silver metal coating surrounding the microorganism. Corroding …

The identification of microorganisms in low amounts (monolayers, single cells) has been
achieved by means of Raman spectroscopy. In a first example, we investigate single …

In this work we monitor the bacterial growth of a Bacillus pumilus batch culture by means of
UV resonance Raman spectroscopy. Excitation with a wavelength of 244 nm especially …

The spectroscopic analysis of individual living cells in their native state provides a powerful
tool for the investigation of complex biological systems. Micro-Raman spectroscopy, in which …

Surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of bacteria infused with silver or gold
colloids reflects the different biochemicals in the immediate, nano‐vicinity of the particles. In …

Background Antimicrobial resistance is a great concern in the medical community, as well as
food industry. Soy peptides were tested against bacterial biofilms for their antimicrobial …
