Abstract

Raman spectroscopy is being evaluated as a candidate technology for waterborne pathogen detection and the fidelity of the Raman spectra of microorganisms with respect to their differentiation at the single cell level are investigated. Individual entities are investigated in the microscope field of view (FOV) by Raman chemical imaging microscopy (RCIM). The size of a substance was not found to cause spectral confusion when collating individual entities in the FOV by multivariate principal components (PCA) and RCIM methods. Polystyrene (PS) beads in 1-3 micron sizes were collectively grouped together by PCA. Distilled and recipe tap water matrices produced the proper identification of the PS beads throughout the FOV, and all PS beads in a FOV were grouped together by PCA. A mixture of Gram-positive Bacillus atrophaeus spores and Gram-negative E. coli cells were differentiated and distinguished by RCIM.
