Collection Overview
Molecular spectroscopy methods, such as Fourier-transformed infrared and Raman spectroscopy, are versatile and non-destructive approaches for structural and functional analysis of micro-organism species. Each species, possessing unique composition of molecules, will interact with light energy in their own way. This fingerprinting capability of molecular spectroscopy gives researchers the ability to identify species and strains in complex mixture and to track biochemical changes in their own natural, intact states. Molecular spectroscopy, when coupled with deployable instruments and automated spectral analysis, will have great potential in microbiological research, as well as clinical and environmental applications. This collection invites publications in recent advances into the novel use of molecular spectroscopy in pathogen detection, the study of cellular response to exogeneous molecules and environmental stress, and the monitoring of communal behavior such as formation and growth of biofilm.
