INTERPRETATION MODEL FOR THE UV-VIS SPECTRA OF MICROORGANISMS

摘要

A method for detecting and identifying microorganisms from a multiwavelength spectra including the steps of obtaining a specimen, resolving a sample spectrum for the specimen, selecting a plurality of cellular component value s from an optical property database for a known microorganism, calculating a model turbidity spectrum based on the sum of the cellular component values a nd comparing the sum with the sample spectrum to determine whether the sample spectrum is indicative of the known microorganism.
