Characterization of Wet-Heat Inactivation of Single Spores of Bacillus Species by Dual-Trap Raman Spectroscopy and Elastic Light Scattering

Abstract: Dual-trap laser tweezers Raman spectroscopy (LTRS) and elastic light scattering (ELSBacterial spores of Bacillus species are formed in sporulation and are metabolically dormant and extremely resistant to a variety of harsh conditions, including heat, radiation, and many toxic chemicals (37). Since spores of these species are generally present in foodstuffs and cause food spoilage and food-borne disease (37, 38), there has long been interest in the mechanisms of both spore resistance and spore killing, especial… Show more

“…To determine the DPA concentration in the spores that retained DPA, Raman spectra of individual spores were acquired using a laser power of 20 mW at 780 nm with an integration time of 20 s. The DPA concentration in these spores was determined from the intensity of the major CaDPA Raman peak at 1,017 cm Ϫ1 relative to the peak intensity of this same band from a CaDPA solution of known concentration. The Raman spectra of 30 treated spores that did or did not retain CaDPA were averaged as described previously (37)(38)(39)(40).…”

“…Raman spectra of individual spores trapped by laser tweezers in an optical trap were measured during the germination of these spores under various conditions as described previously (5,35). A number of prominent bands in a dormant spore's Raman spectrum are due almost exclusively to DPA, in particular a very prominent band at 1,017 cm Ϫ1 (5,19,26,35).…”

“…Raman spectra of individual spores trapped by laser tweezers in an optical trap were measured during the germination of these spores under various conditions as described previously (5,35). A number of prominent bands in a dormant spore's Raman spectrum are due almost exclusively to DPA, in particular a very prominent band at 1,017 cm Ϫ1 (5,19,26,35). During spore germination, the DPA-specific Raman bands disappear, thus making it possible to determine the kinetics of DPA release during germination of individual spores (5,19,26).…”
