Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, nano-sized materials can be manipulated by focusing a near-infrared (NIR) laser beam, namely, an optical trapping. By focusing an NIR laser beam on an Ag nanoparticle, also surface-enhanced hyper-Raman scattering (SEHRS) has been observed. In this study, SEHRS spectra at a desired position on yeast were measured by using optically-trapped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). From conventional cooking yeast in the suspension at pH = 9, the SEHRS peak at 1380 cm-1, which is originates from PMBA in alkaline condition, hardly appeared. From the yeast for biology, on the other hand, the SEHRS peak sometimes was observed at 1380 cm-1. This shows different efficiency in the fermentation. Interestingly, the SEHRS peaks which are not assigned to PMBA were occasionally observed. At different positions on a single yeast, intensities of the SEHRS peak at 1380 cm-1 were varied. This result represents the pH distribution on yeast.
