摘要
The rapid extraction of dipicolinic acid (DPA) from bacillus cereus spores aided by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy was investigated. The method is useful in detecting location of anthrax endospores in mail distribution facilities. The ability of this method to distinguish between spore-forming bacteria and non-DPA containing powders also helps prevent costly shutdowns associated with the appearance of suspicious materials. The results showed that DPA can be extracted from a 10μg bacillus cereus spore sample using DDA in 1 minute and can be detected by SERS in an additional 1 minute.
