Abstract: "[Investigators] have characterized the complete fluorescence response of eleven clinically-relevant bacteria by generating excitation-emission matrices (EEMs) over broad wavelength ranges." |
| Comments |
P.10 left column, bottom paragraph: "All the examined bacterial strains exhibited a distinctive double-peak fluorescence feature of tryptophan, a protein-bound aromatic amino acid, but no other cellular fluorophore was detected. Thus, this fluorescence survey found that an emission peak of 340 nm is the cellular fluorescence signal to target for detection of bacterial contamination, maximally excited with a UV illumination source of 280 nm." |
