Abstract: Distinct spectral differences among Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Corynebacterium glutamicum, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus were observed from their high quality infrared spectra in the frequence regions 900-1800cm-1 and 2800-3050cm-1. These differences imply that it is possible to use FTIRto analyze and identify microbes. And this method will be a simple, rapid and accurate one.
