TL;DR: The bulk of the review highlights recent applications of Raman spectroscopy, including structural investigations of a hormone receptor, testing the biocompatibility of dental implants, probing soil components and plant tissue alkaloids, and localization of single bacteria.

TL;DR: UV-resonance Raman spectroscopy is applied as a method for the identification of lactic acid bacteria from yogurt using hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis to investigate natural grouping in the data.

TL;DR: The applicability of an etched and silver or gold coated SERS fiber probe in combination with a commercially available laboratory micro-Raman setup or a home built mobile micro- Raman setup to perform on-site field measurements was evaluated and successfully tested on different biological samples.

TL;DR: The successful application of an optical gradient trap on transparent as well as on reflective, metal-coated microparticles is described, which makes trapping independent from the Raman excitation laser and allows a separate adjustment of the trapping and excitation wavelengths.

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption process on titanium dioxide nanoparticles via two proteins, namely fibrinogen and fibronectin, was studied and the Raman spectra were compared to spectra of proteins that were adsorbed on TiO2 nanoparticles.
