Discrimination of single yeast cells with Raman spectroscopy: Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces lactis

摘要

On the basis of Raman spectra of single cells we demonstrate clear discrimination of two yeast species, viz. Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces lactis. The spectra have been measured with a laser tweezers Raman set-up, while they have been analysed with principle component analysis and linear discriminant analysis.
