The microbial world forms a huge family of organisms that exhibit the greatest phylogenetic
diversity on Earth and thus colonize virtually our entire planet. Due to this diversity and …

Bacterial biofilms play a role in a majority of chronic infections. Such infections are the result
of bacterial colonization and matrix construction, which yield protective structures that are …

Fast identification of pathogenic bacteria is an essential need for patient's diagnostic in
hospitals and environmental monitoring of water and air quality. Bacterial cells consist of a …

The integration of green construction practices within the built environment has been
significantly advanced by biotechnological innovations, among which microbially induced …

Recently recorded quantitative IR spectra of a variety of gas-phase alkanes are shown to
have integrated intensities in both the C3H stretching and C3H bending regions that depend …

In this work, we investigated how a combination of ethanol and high temperature (70° C),
affect the properties of the inner membrane of Bacillus subtilis spores. We observed …

The current state of the art on bacterial classification using Raman and Surface Enhanced
Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) for the purpose of develo** a rapid and more accurate …

Ultrafast 2D-IR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for understanding the spectroscopy and
dynamics of biological molecules in the solution phase. A number of recent studies have …

One of the most habitable environments in the Solar System outside of Earth may exist
underneath the ice on Europa. In the near future, our best chance to look for chemical …

Accurate and calibrated directional-hemispherical reflectance spectra of solids are important
for both in situ and remote sensing. Many solids are in the form of powders or granules and …
