RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Microorganism response to stressed terrestrial environments: a raman spectroscopic perspective of extremophilic life strategies A1 Jorge Villar, Susana E.

K1 Raman spectroscopy K1 Extremophile K1 Bio-strategy K1 Geo-strategy K1 Microorganism K1 GeologĂ­a K1 Geology AB Raman spectroscopy is a valuable analytical technique for the identification of biomolecules and minerals in natural samples, which involves little or minimal sample manipulation. In this paper, we evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of this technique applied to the study of extremophiles. Furthermore, we provide a review of the results published, up to the present point in time, of the bio- and geo-strategies adopted by different types of extremophile colonies of microorganisms. We also show the characteristic Raman signatures for the identification of pigments and minerals, which appear in those complex samples PB MDPI SN 2075-1729 YR 2013 FD 2013-03 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10259/4599 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10259/4599 LA eng DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Burgos RD 11-dic-2024
