Abstract:The resonance Raman spectra of bacterial carotenoids have been employed to identify bacterial strains and their intensity changes as a function of ultraviolet (UV) radiation dose have been used to differentiate between live and dead bacteria. The enhanced resonance Raman spectra of color-pigmented bacteria were recorded after excitation with visible light diode lasers. In addition, the resonance enhanced Raman spectra enabled us to detect bacteria in water at much lower concentrations ( 10^8 cells/mL) than nor… Show more
