Abstract:In recent years, near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has gained interest as a tool for bacteria strain identification. Although some promising results suggest good applicability of the technique, a better interpretation of the NIR bacterial spectra is still needed. In order to analyze the NIR spectrum of biological samples, a correlation analysis between the NIR and the mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectra was performed. In total, 28 spectra of 8 bacterial strains were acquired and correlated in the NIR and the mid-IR s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
