Project description:Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy becomes increasingly used in biosensors for its capacity to detect and identify single molecules. In practice, a large number of SERS spectra are acquired and reliable ranking methods are thus essential for analysing all these data. Supervised classification strategies, which are the most effective methods, are usually applied but they require pre-determined models or classes. In this work, we propose to sort SERS spectra in unknown groups with an alternative strategy called Fourier polar representation. This non-fitting method based on simple Fourier sine and cosine transforms produces a fast and graphical representation for sorting SERS spectra with quantitative information. The reliability of this method was first investigated theoretically and numerically. Then, its performances were tested on two concrete biological examples: first with single amino-acid molecule (cysteine) and then with a mixture of three distinct odorous molecules. The benefits of this Fourier polar representation were highlighted and compared to the well-established statistical principal component analysis method.

Project description:Raman spectrometry appears to be an opportunity to perform rapid tests in microbiological diagnostics as it provides phenotype-related information from single bacterial cells thus holding the promise of direct analysis of clinical specimens without any time-consuming growth phase. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of a rapid antibiotic-susceptibility determination based on the use of Raman spectra acquired on single bacterial cells. After a two-hour preculture step, one susceptible and two resistant E. coli strains were incubated, for only two hours, in the presence of different bactericidal antibiotics (gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, amoxicillin) in a range of concentrations that included the clinical breakpoints used as references in microbial diagnostic. Spectra were acquired and processed to isolate spectral modifications associated with the antibiotic effect. We evidenced an "antibiotic effect signature" which is expressed with specific Raman peaks and the coexistence of three spectral populations in the presence of antibiotic. We devised an algorithm and a test procedure that overcome single-cell heterogeneities to estimate the MIC and determinate the susceptibility phenotype of the tested bacteria using only a few single-cell spectra in four hours only if including the preculture step.

Project description:Hydrologic research is a very demanding application of fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) in terms of precision, accuracy and calibration. The physics behind the most frequently used DTS instruments are considered as they apply to four calibration methods for single-ended DTS installations. The new methods presented are more accurate than the instrument-calibrated data, achieving accuracies on the order of tenths of a degree root mean square error (RMSE) and mean bias. Effects of localized non-uniformities that violate the assumptions of single-ended calibration data are explored and quantified. Experimental design considerations such as selection of integration times or selection of the length of the reference sections are discussed, and the impacts of these considerations on calibrated temperatures are explored in two case studies.

Project description:Biomolecular abundance detection of fermentation microorganisms is significant for the accurate regulation of fermentation, which is conducive to reducing fermentation costs and improving the yield of target products. However, the development of an accurate analytical method for the detection of biomolecular abundance still faces important challenges. Herein, we present a non-invasive biomolecular abundance detection method based on Raman spectra combined with target extraction and multimodel fitting. The high gain of the eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm was used to extract the characteristic Raman peaks of metabolically active proteins and nucleic acids within E. coli and yeast. The test accuracy for different culture times and cell cycles of E. coli was 94.4% and 98.2%, respectively. Simultaneously, the Gaussian multi-peak fitting algorithm was exploited to calculate peak intensity from mixed peaks, which can improve the accuracy of biomolecular abundance calculations. The accuracy of Gaussian multi-peak fitting was above 0.9, and the results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) measurements for the lag phase, log phase, and stationary phase of E. coli growth demonstrated highly significant levels, indicating that the intracellular biomolecular abundance detection was consistent with the classical cell growth law. These results suggest the great potential of the combination of microbial intracellular abundance, Raman spectra analysis, target extraction, and multimodel fitting as a method for microbial fermentation engineering.

Project description:Deep learning has the potential to enhance the output of in-line, on-line, and at-line instrumentation used for process analytical technology in the pharmaceutical industry. Here, we used Raman spectroscopy-based deep learning strategies to develop a tool for detecting microbial contamination. We built a Raman dataset for microorganisms that are common contaminants in the pharmaceutical industry for Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells, which are often used in the production of biologics. Using a convolution neural network (CNN), we classified the different samples comprising individual microbes and microbes mixed with CHO cells with an accuracy of 95%-100%. The set of 12 microbes spans across Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as fungi. We also created an attention map for different microbes and CHO cells to highlight which segments of the Raman spectra contribute the most to help discriminate between different species. This dataset and algorithm provide a route for implementing Raman spectroscopy for detecting microbial contamination in the pharmaceutical industry.

Project description:We present a fully analytic approach to calculate infrared (IR) and Raman spectra of molecules embedded in complex molecular environments modeled using the fragment-based polarizable embedding (PE) model. We provide the theory for the calculation of analytic second-order geometric derivatives of molecular energies and first-order geometric derivatives of electric dipole moments and dipole-dipole polarizabilities within the PE model. The derivatives are implemented using a general open-ended response theory framework, thus allowing for an extension to higher-order derivatives. The embedding-potential parameters used to describe the environment in the PE model are derived through first-principles calculations, thus allowing a wide variety of systems to be modeled, including solvents, proteins, and other large and complex molecular environments. Here, we present proof-of-principle calculations of IR and Raman spectra of acetone in different solvents. This work is an important step toward calculating accurate vibrational spectra of molecules embedded in realistic environments.

Project description:Raman microspectroscopy is a powerful tool for obtaining biomolecular information from single microbial cells in a nondestructive manner. Here, we detail steps to discriminate prokaryotic species using single-cell Raman spectra acquisitions followed by data preprocessing and random forest model tuning. In addition, we describe the steps required to evaluate the model. This protocol requires minimal preprocessing of Raman spectral data, making it accessible to non-spectroscopists, yet allows intuitive visualization of feature importance. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Kanno et al. (2021).

Project description:The ultraviolet resonance Raman (UVRR) spectra of the two proteins bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA) in an aqueous solution are compared with the aim to distinguish between them based on their very similar amino acid composition and structure and to obtain signals from tryptophan that has only very few residues. Comparison of the protein spectra with solutions of tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine in comparative ratios as in the two proteins shows that at an excitation wavelength of 220 nm, the spectra are dominated by the strong resonant contribution from these three amino acids. While the strong enhancement of two and one single tryptophan residue in BSA and HSA, respectively, results in pronounced bands assigned to fundamental vibrations of tryptophan, its weaker overtones and combination bands do not play a major role in the spectral range above 1800 cm-1. There, the protein spectra clearly reveal the signals of overtones and combination bands of phenylalanine and tyrosine. Assignments of spectral features in the range of Raman shifts from 3800 to 5100 cm-1 to combinations comprising fundamentals and overtones of tyrosine were supported by spectra of amino acid mixtures that contain deuterated tyrosine. The information in the high-frequency region of the UVRR spectra could provide information that is complementary to near-infrared absorption spectroscopy of the proteins.
