Interplay between carotenoids, hemoproteins and the “life band” origin studied in live Rhodotorula mucilaginosa cells by means of Raman microimaging

Abstract

Raman microimaging of live Rhodotorula mucilaginosa cells, cultured under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, showed striking differences in the composition and distribution of cell components. The analysis of these differences and recovery of oxidative phosphorylation upon environmental changes enabled the interrelation of carotenoids, hemoproteins and the unknown species considered as the “Raman signature of life”.
