Abstract: |
[Objective] The dynamic change in content of major biological molecules inside Staphylococcus aureus cells in batch cultivation was investigated using laser tweezers Raman spectroscopy.[Methods] Raman spectra of Staphylococcus aureus cells sampled at various time points of batch cultivation were recorded to observe time-dependent changes of the characteristic peaks.[Results] The intensities of characteristic bands at 667cm-1, 724cm-1, 781cm-1, 809cm-1 and 1 574cm-1, assigned to nucleic acids, decreased continuously throughout the batch growth, and the intensities of these bands dropped even more drastically, especially during the exponential growth phase, which could be attributed to the rapid cell division and active DNA replication in the exponential growth stage.In the meantime, the intensities of Raman peaks around 850cm-1, 1 001cm-1 and 1 662cm-1, associated with proteins, increased significantly during the exponential growth phase, and then remained relatively constant during the stationary phase.[Conclusion] The experimental results show that laser tweezers Raman spectroscopy can monitor the content of bio-macromolecules in real time and serve as an efficient tool for analyzing the changes in metabolic states of microorganisms at single cell level. |
