摘要
We report on the development of a laser based spore disruption method. Bacillus globigii spores were mixed with a laser light absorbing matrix and co-crystallized into 200-mu m-wide and 20-mu m-deep nanovials formed in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) target plate. Surface tension effects were exploited to affect up to 125-fold spore enrichment. When the target zones Were illuminated at atmospheric pressure with pulsed UV laser light, a change in spore morphology was observed within seconds. Post illumination PCR analysis suggests the release of endogenous DNA indicative of spore disruption.
