SRS-FISH: high-throughput bridging of phenotype and genotype at single cell level

For high-throughput link of microbiome function and taxonomic identity at the single cell level, we established a stimulated Raman scattering (SRS)-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) platform. SRS combined with the deuterium-based isotope probing enables chemical mapping and reveals metabolic activity of bacteria. Fluorescently tagged oligonucleotide probes identify different bacteria and are detected through two photon fluorescence (TPF)...
