Description
Summary:In this study, we explore Raman spectra of bacteria for their biochemical information. Therefore, a database of biomolecules was used and several approaches were applied such as the study of difference spectra, the calculation dot products, the usage of coefficients obtained from an EMSC procedure and the application of 2D correlation spectroscopy. These methods were applied on a dataset containing Raman spectra of Cupriavidus metallidurans LMG 1195 in five stages of its growth, aiming to extract information about the evolution of cell components during growth. EMSC coefficients seemed to be most promising for tracking metabolic products and the results were often confirmed by difference spectra or by 2D correlation spectroscopy.
