Abstract
ConspectusFirst predicted more than 100 years ago, Raman scattering is a cornerstone of photonics, spectroscopy, and imaging. The conventional framework of understanding Raman scattering was built on Raman cross section σRaman. Carrying a dimension of area, σRaman characterizes the interaction strength between light and molecules during inelastic scattering. The numerical values of σRaman turn out to be many orders of magnitude smaller in comparison to the linear absorption cross sections σAbsorption of similar molecular systems. Such an enormous gap has been the reason for researchers to believe the extremely feeble Raman scattering ever since its discovery. However, this prevailing picture is conceptually problematic or at least incomplete due to the fact that Raman scattering and linear absorption belong to different orders of light-matter interaction.In this Account, we will summarize an alternate way to think about Raman scattering, which we term stimulated response formulation. To capture the third-order interaction nature of Raman scattering, we introduced stimulated Raman cross section, σSRS, defined as the intrinsic molecular property in response to the external photon fluxes. Foremost, experimental measurement of σSRS turns out to be not weak at all or even larger when fairly compared with electronic counterparts of the same order. The analytical expression for σSRS derived from quantum electrodynamics also supports the measurement and proves that σSRS is intrinsically strong. Hence, σRaman and σSRS can be extremely small and large, respectively, for the same molecule at the same time. Our subsequent theoretical studies show that stimulated response formulation can unify spontaneous emission, stimulated emission, spontaneous Raman, and stimulated Raman via eq 10, in a coherent and symmetric way. In particular, an Einstein-coefficient-like equation, eq 12a, was derived, showing that σRaman can be explicitly expressed as σSRS multiplied by an effective photon flux arising from zero-point fluctuation of the vacuum. The feeble vacuum fluctuation hence explains how σSRS can be intrinsically strong while, at the same time, σRaman ends up being many orders of magnitude smaller when both compared to the electronic counterparts. These two sides of the same coin prompted us to propose "the duality of Raman scattering" (Table 1). Finally, this formulation naturally leads to a quantitative treatment of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy, providing an intuitive, molecule-centric explanation as to how SRS microscopy can outperform regular Raman microscopy. Hence, as unveiled by the new formulation, a duality of Raman scattering has emerged, with implications for both fundamental science and practical technology.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 362:142500. [PMID: 38852635 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in oceans poses a significant threat to human health through the seafood supply chain. Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are important marine microorganisms and play a key role in the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle around the world. However, the AMR of marine AOA to aquicultural antibiotics is poorly explored. Here, Raman-deuterium isotope probing (Raman-DIP), a single-cell tool, was developed to reveal the AMR of a typical marine species of AOA, Nitrosopumilus maritimus (designated SCM1), against six antibiotics, including erythromycin, tetracycline, novobiocin, neomycin, bacitracin, and vancomycin. The D2O concentration (30% v/v) and culture period (9 days) were optimized for the precise detection of metabolic activity in SCM1 cells through Raman-DIP. The relative metabolic activity of SCM1 upon exposure to antibiotics was semi-quantitatively calculated based on single-cell Raman spectra. SCM1 exhibited high resistance to erythromycin, tetracycline, novobiocin, neomycin, and vancomycin, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values between 100 and 400 mg/L, while SCM1 is very sensitive to bacitracin (MIC: 0.8 mg/L). Notably, SCM1 cells were completely inactive under the metabolic activity minimum inhibitory concentration conditions (MA-MIC: 1.6-800 mg/L) for the six antibiotics. Further genomic analysis revealed the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) of SCM1, including 14 types categorized into 33 subtypes. This work increases our knowledge of the AMR of marine AOA by linking the resistant phenome to the genome, contributing to the risk assessment of AMR in the underexplored ocean environment. As antibiotic resistance in marine microorganisms is significantly affected by the concentration of antibiotics in coastal environments, we encourage more studies concentrating on both the phenotypic and genotypic antibiotic resistance of marine archaea. This may facilitate a comprehensive evaluation of the capacity of marine microorganisms to spread AMR and the implementation of suitable control measures to protect environmental safety and human health.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy is an emerging method for the identification of bacteria. Nevertheless, a lot of different parameters need to be considered to establish a reliable database capable of identifying real-world samples such as medical or environmental probes. In this review, the establishment of such reliable databases with the proper design in microbiological Raman studies is demonstrated, shining a light into all the parts that require attention. Aspects such as the strain selection, sample preparation and isolation requirements, the phenotypic influence, measurement strategies, as well as the statistical approaches for discrimination of bacteria, are presented. Furthermore, the influence of these aspects on spectra quality, result accuracy, and read-out are discussed. The aim of this review is to serve as a guide for the design of microbiological Raman studies that can support the establishment of this method in different fields.

Abstract
Raman scattering is an inelastic light scattering that occurs in a manner reflective of the molecular vibrations of molecular structures and chemical conditions in a given sample of interest. Energy changes in the scattered light can be assessed to determine the vibration mode and associated molecular and chemical conditions within the sample, providing a molecular fingerprint suitable for sample identification and characterization. Raman spectroscopy represents a particularly promising approach to the molecular analysis of many diseases owing to clinical advantages including its instantaneous nature and associated high degree of stability, as well as its ability to yield signal outputs corresponding to a single molecule type without any interference from other molecules as a result of its narrow peak width. This technology is thus ideally suited to the simultaneous assessment of multiple analytes. Neurodegenerative diseases represent an increasingly significant threat to global public health owing to progressive population aging, imposing a severe physical and social burden on affected patients who tend to develop cognitive and/or motor deficits beginning between the ages of 50 and 70. Owing to a relatively limited understanding of the etiological basis for these diseases, treatments are lacking for the most common neurodegenerative diseases, which include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The present review was formulated with the goal of briefly explaining the principle of Raman spectroscopy and discussing its potential applications in the diagnosis and evaluation of neurodegenerative diseases, with a particular emphasis on the research prospects of this novel technological platform.

Abstract
Understanding metabolic heterogeneity is the key to uncovering the underlying mechanisms of metabolic-related diseases. Current metabolic imaging studies suffer from limitations including low resolution and specificity, and the model systems utilized often lack human relevance. Here, we present a single-cell metabolic imaging platform to enable direct imaging of lipid metabolism with high specificity in various human-derived 2D and 3D culture systems. Through the incorporation of an azide-tagged infrared probe, selective detection of newly synthesized lipids in cells and tissue became possible, while simultaneous fluorescence imaging enabled cell-type identification in complex tissues. In proof-of-concept experiments, newly synthesized lipids were directly visualized in human-relevant model systems among different cell types, mutation status, differentiation stages, and over time. We identified upregulated lipid metabolism in progranulin-knockdown human induced pluripotent stem cells and in their differentiated microglia cells. Furthermore, we observed that neurons in brain organoids exhibited a significantly lower lipid metabolism compared to astrocytes.

Abstract
Label-free optical imaging employs natural and nondestructive approaches for the visualisation of biomedical samples for both biological assays and clinical diagnosis. Currently, this field revolves around multiple broad technology-oriented communities, each with a specific focus on a particular modality despite the existence of shared challenges and applications. As a result, biologists or clinical researchers who require label-free imaging are often not aware of the most appropriate modality to use. This manuscript presents a comprehensive review of and comparison among different label-free imaging modalities and discusses common challenges and applications. We expect this review to facilitate collaborative interactions between imaging communities, push the field forward and foster technological advancements, biophysical discoveries, as well as clinical detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of disease.

Abstract
Raman confocal microscopes have been used to visualize the distribution of small molecule drugs within different subcellular compartments. This visualization allows the discovery, characterization, and detailed analysis of the molecular transport phenomena underpinning the Volume of Distribution - a key parameter governing the systemic pharmacokinetics of small molecule drugs. In the specific case of lipophilic small molecules with large Volumes of Distribution, chemical imaging studies using Raman confocal microscopes have revealed how weakly basic, poorly soluble drug molecules can accumulate inside cells by forming stable, supramolecular complexes in association with cytoplasmic membranes or by precipitating out within organelles. To study the self-assembly and function of the resulting intracellular drug inclusions, Raman chemical imaging methods have been developed to measure and map the mass, concentration, and ionization state of drug molecules at a microscopic, subcellular level. Beyond the field of drug delivery, Raman chemical imaging techniques relevant to the study of microscopic drug precipitates and drug-lipid complexes which form inside cells are also being developed by researchers with seemingly unrelated scientific interests. Highlighting advances in data acquisition, calibration methods, and computational data management and analysis tools, this review will cover a decade of technological developments that enable the conversion of spectral signals obtained from Raman confocal microscopes into new discoveries and information about previously unknown, concentrative drug transport pathways driven by soluble-to-insoluble phase transitions occurring within the cytoplasmic organelles of eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
Raman probes have received growing attention for their potential use in super-multiplex biological imaging and flow cytometry applications that cannot be achieved using fluorescent probes. However, obtaining strong Raman scattering signals from small Raman probes has posed a challenge that holds back their practical implementation. Here, we present new types of Raman-active nanoparticles (Rdots) that incorporate ionophore macrocycles, known as cyanostars, to act as ion-driven and structure-directing spacers to address this problem. These macrocycle-enhanced Rdots (MERdots) exhibit sharper and higher electronic absorption peaks than Rdots. When combined with resonant broadband time-domain Raman spectroscopy, these MERdots show a ∼3-fold increase in Raman intensity compared to conventional Rdots under the same particle concentration. Additionally, the detection limit on the concentration of MERdots is improved by a factor of 2.5 compared to that of Rdots and a factor of 430 compared to that of Raman dye molecules in solution. The compact size of MERdots (26 nm in diameter) and their increased Raman signal intensity, along with the broadband capabilities of time-domain resonant Raman spectroscopy, make them promising candidates for a wide range of biological applications.

Abstract
Patients with oral cavity cancer are almost always treated with surgery. The goal is to remove the tumor with a margin of more than 5 mm of surrounding healthy tissue. Unfortunately, this is only achieved in about 15% to 26% of cases. Intraoperative assessment of tumor resection margins (IOARM) can dramatically improve surgical results. However, current methods are laborious, subjective, and logistically demanding. This hinders broad adoption of IOARM, to the detriment of patients. Here we present the development and validation of a high-wavenumber Raman spectroscopic technology, for quick and objective intraoperative measurement of resection margins on fresh specimens. It employs a thin fiber-optic needle probe, which is inserted into the tissue, to measure the distance between a resection surface and the tumor. A tissue classification model was developed to discriminate oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) from healthy oral tissue, with a sensitivity of 0.85 and a specificity of 0.92. The tissue classification model was then used to develop a margin length prediction model, showing a mean difference between margin length predicted by Raman spectroscopy and histopathology of -0.17 mm.

Abstract
Coherent Raman scattering microscopy utilizing bioorthogonal tagging approaches like isotope or alkyne labeling allows for a targeted monitoring of spatial distribution and dynamics of small molecules of interest in cells, tissues, and other complex biological matrices. To fully exploit this approach in terms of real-time monitoring of several Raman tags, e.g., to study drug uptake dynamics, extremely fast tunable lasers are needed. Here, we present a laser concept without moving parts and fully electronically controlled for the quasi-simultaneous acquisition of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering images at multiple Raman resonances. The laser concept is based on the combination of a low noise and spectrally narrow Fourier domain mode-locked laser seeding a compact four wave mixing-based high-power fiber-based optical parametric amplifier.

Frequency Changes in Terminal Alkynes Provide Strong, Sensitive, and Solvatochromic Raman Probes of Biochemical Environments. J Phys Chem B 2023; 127:85-94.

Abstract
The C≡C stretching frequencies of terminal alkynes appear in the "clear" window of vibrational spectra, so they are attractive and increasingly popular as site-specific probes in complicated biological systems like proteins, cells, and tissues. In this work, we collected infrared (IR) absorption and Raman scattering spectra of model compounds, artificial amino acids, and model proteins that contain terminal alkyne groups, and we used our results to draw conclusions about the signal strength and sensitivity to the local environment of both aliphatic and aromatic terminal alkyne C≡C stretching bands. While the IR bands of alkynyl model compounds displayed surprisingly broad solvatochromism, their absorptions were weak enough that alkynes can be ruled out as effective IR probes. The same solvatochromism was observed in model compounds' Raman spectra, and comparisons to published empirical solvent scales (including a linear regression against four meta-aggregated solvent parameters) suggested that the alkyne C≡C stretching frequency mainly reports on local electronic interactions (i.e., short-range electron donor-acceptor interactions) with solvent molecules and neighboring functional groups. The strong solvatochromism observed here for alkyne stretching bands introduces an important consideration for Raman imaging studies based on these signals. Raman signals for alkynes (especially those that are π-conjugated) can be exceptionally strong and should permit alkynyl Raman signals to function as probes at very low concentrations, as compared to other widely used vibrational probe groups like azides and nitriles. We incorporated homopropargyl glycine into a transmembrane helical peptide via peptide synthesis, and we installed p-ethynylphenylalanine into the interior of the Escherichia coli fatty acid acyl carrier protein using a genetic code expansion technique. The Raman spectra from each of these test systems indicate that alkynyl C≡C bands can act as effective and unique probes of their local biomolecular environments. We provide guidance for the best possible future uses of alkynes as solvatochromic Raman probes, and while empirical explanations of the alkyne solvatochromism are offered, open questions about its physical basis are enunciated.

Abstract
Precision medicine is important in the treatment of acute leukemia (AL). The target therapies of AL provide an opportunity to reduce the mortality of AL. How AL cells differ from their healthy counterparts is the basis for the development of therapies and the outcome of AL patients. Therefore, a label-free and noninvasive single-cell Raman platform was used to characterize cell molecular profiles and found potential biomarkers from three healthy people and twelve AL patients with more than 90% accuracy. We analyzed myeloblasts, abnormal promyelocytes, monoblasts and B-ALL cells respectively, compared with their healthy counterparts, which could be distinguished by their intrinsic phenotypic Raman spectra using orthogonal partial least squares discriminate analysis (OPLS-DA). Most importantly, we selected statistically significant markers of the four leukemia models. Further analysis of leukemic granulocytes, we found that a combination of the 1003, 1341 and 1579 cm-1 Raman peaks could discriminate myeloblasts and abnormal promyelocytes from normal granulocytes. The assignments of 1579 cm-1 gave us a clue to find potential important variables myeloperoxidase related with AL diagnosis. Our study demonstrates the capability of the Raman platform to characterize leukemia cells with non-invasively probing metabolites. The biomarker we identified could be extensible to other blood cells and potentially have a high impact on leukemia therapy.

Abstract
Carbon cycling is one of the major biogeochemical processes driven by bacteria. Autotrophic bacteria convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic compounds that are used by heterotrophs. Mixotrophic bacteria can employ both autotrophy and heterotrophy for growth. The characterization of the lifestyle of individual cells is essential to understand the microbial activity and thus reveal the implication of bacteria in the carbon flux. In this study, we used groundwater bacteria to investigate the potential of Raman-D2O labeling in combination with chemometrics to identify the carbon assimilation strategies of bacteria. Classification models were built using principal component analysis (PCA) followed by linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Autotrophs assimilated a significantly higher amount (mean C-D ratio between 16.63 and 21.69%) of deuterium than heterotrophs. The C-D signal only provides information about the activity since it appears in the Raman-silent region, where no interference with the taxonomic information is expected. The classification between autotrophs and heterotrophs achieved an overall accuracy of 96.3%. In the validation step with an independent dataset containing species not included in the model, the PCA-LDA model achieved 100% accuracy. This demonstrated that the C-D signal contributed to the identification of autotrophic and heterotrophic bacterial cells. This work reports a robust, rapid, and nondestructive approach for the identification of single cells based on their carbon acquisition strategies. The present study foresees the potential of Raman-D2O labeling as a promising method for automated discrimination of in situ functional activities of bacteria in environmental systems.

Abstract
Surgeries achieving maximal tumor resection remain the major effective treatment of pancreatic cancer. Rapid and precise intraoperative diagnosis of pancreatic tissues is critical for optimum surgical outcomes but is challenging for the current staining-based histological methods. We demonstrated that label-free coherent nonlinear optical microscopy with combined stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and second harmonic generation (SHG) could reveal key diagnostic features of both normal and cancerous human pancreatic tissues. Adjacent pairs of tissue sections from resection margins of 37 patients were imaged by SRS and hematoxylin and eosin staining for direct comparison, demonstrating high diagnostic concordance (Cohen's kappa, κ > 0.97) between them. Fresh unprocessed tissues showed well-preserved histoarchitectures including pancreatic ducts, islets, acini, and nerves. Moreover, the area ratios of collagen fibers were analyzed and found to correlate with the drainage pancreatic amylase level (odds ratio = 28.0, p = 0.0017). Our results indicated that SRS/SHG histology provides potential for rapid intraoperative diagnosis of pancreatic cancer as well as a predictive value of postoperative pancreatic fistula.

Abstract
Soft rot disease of edible mushrooms leads to rapid degeneration of fungal tissue and thus severely affects farming productivity worldwide. The bacterial mushroom pathogen Burkholderia gladioli pv. agaricicola has been identified as the cause. Yet, little is known about the molecular basis of the infection, the spatial distribution and the biological role of antifungal agents and toxins involved in this infectious disease. We combine genome mining, metabolic profiling, MALDI-Imaging and UV Raman spectroscopy, to detect, identify and visualize a complex of chemical mediators and toxins produced by the pathogen during the infection process, including toxoflavin, caryoynencin, and sinapigladioside. Furthermore, targeted gene knockouts and in vitro assays link antifungal agents to prevalent symptoms of soft rot, mushroom browning, and impaired mycelium growth. Comparisons of related pathogenic, mutualistic and environmental Burkholderia spp. indicate that the arsenal of antifungal agents may have paved the way for ancestral bacteria to colonize niches where frequent, antagonistic interactions with fungi occur. Our findings not only demonstrate the power of label-free, in vivo detection of polyyne virulence factors by Raman imaging, but may also inspire new approaches to disease control.

Abstract
Raman stable isotope probing (Raman-SIP) is an excellent technique that can be used to access the overall metabolism of microorganisms. Recent studies have mainly used an excitation wavelength in the visible range to characterize isotopically labeled bacteria. In this work, we used UV resonance Raman spectroscopy (UVRR) to evaluate the spectral red-shifts caused by the uptake of isotopes (13C, 15N, 2H(D) and 18O) in E. coli cells. Moreover, we present a new approach based on the extraction of labeled DNA in combination with UVRR to identify metabolically active cells. The proof-of-principle study on E. coli revealed heterogeneities in the Raman features of both the bacterial cells and the extracted DNA after labeling with 13C, 15N, and D. The wavelength of choice for studying 18O- and deuterium-labeled cells is 532 nm is, while 13C-labeled cells can be investigated with visible and deep UV wavelengths. However, 15N-labeled cells are best studied at the excitation wavelength of 244 nm since nucleic acids are in resonance at this wavelength. These results highlight the potential of the presented approach to identify active bacterial cells. This work can serve as a basis for the development of new techniques for the rapid and efficient detection of active bacteria cells without the need for a cultivation step.

Abstract
Algae live in association with microbes that interact by a variety of chemical mediators, resulting in mutualistic or antagonistic relationships. Although algae are key contributors to carbon fixation and are fundamental for food webs, we still know little about the underlying molecular mechanisms affecting their fitness. This study investigates the interaction between an antagonistic bacterium and a unicellular alga. It demonstrates multiple roles of a polyyne, protegencin, that is used by the bacteria to attack green algal cells. It is a highly effective toxin that alters a subcellular algal compartment used for vision, bleaches, and lyses the algal cells. These results expand our knowledge of the arsenal of chemical mediators in bacteria and their modes of action in algal communities. Algae are key contributors to global carbon fixation and form the basis of many food webs. In nature, their growth is often supported or suppressed by microorganisms. The bacterium Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 arrests the growth of the green unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, deflagellates the alga by the cyclic lipopeptide orfamide A, and alters its morphology [P. Aiyar et al., Nat. Commun. 8, 1756 (2017)]. Using a combination of Raman microspectroscopy, genome mining, and mutational analysis, we discovered a polyyne toxin, protegencin, which is secreted by P. protegens, penetrates the algal cells, and causes destruction of the carotenoids of their primitive visual system, the eyespot. Together with secreted orfamide A, protegencin thus prevents the phototactic behavior of C. reinhardtii. A mutant of P. protegens deficient in protegencin production does not affect growth or eyespot carotenoids of C. reinhardtii. Protegencin acts in a direct and destructive way by lysing and killing the algal cells. The toxic effect of protegencin is also observed in an eyeless mutant and with the colony-forming Chlorophyte alga Gonium pectorale. These data reveal a two-pronged molecular strategy involving a cyclic lipopeptide and a conjugated tetrayne used by bacteria to attack select Chlamydomonad algae. In conjunction with the bloom-forming activity of several chlorophytes and the presence of the protegencin gene cluster in over 50 different Pseudomonas genomes [A. J. Mullins et al., bioRxiv [Preprint] (2021). https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.05.433886v1 (Accessed 17 April 2021)], these data are highly relevant to ecological interactions between Chlorophyte algae and Pseudomonadales bacteria.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy has shown very promising results in medical diagnostics by providing label-free and highly specific molecular information of pathological tissue ex vivo and in vivo. Nevertheless, the high specificity of Raman spectroscopy comes at a price, i.e., low acquisition rate, no direct access to depth information, and limited sampling areas. However, a similar case regarding advantages and disadvantages can also be made for other highly regarded optical modalities, such as optical coherence tomography, autofluorescence imaging and fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence lifetime microscopy, second-harmonic generation, and others. While in these modalities the acquisition speed is significantly higher, they have no or only limited molecular specificity and are only sensitive to a small group of molecules. It can be safely stated that a single modality provides only a limited view on a specific aspect of a biological specimen and cannot assess the entire complexity of a sample. To solve this issue, multimodal optical systems, which combine different optical modalities tailored to a particular need, become more and more common in translational research and will be indispensable diagnostic tools in clinical pathology in the near future. These systems can assess different and partially complementary aspects of a sample and provide a distinct set of independent biomarkers. Here, we want to give an overview on the development of multimodal systems that use RS in combination with other optical modalities to improve the diagnostic performance.

Abstract
![]()
Molecular imaging
techniques are essential tools for better investigating
biological processes and detecting disease biomarkers with improvement
of both diagnosis and therapy monitoring. Often, a single imaging
technique is not sufficient to obtain comprehensive information at
different levels. Multimodal diagnostic probes are key tools to enable
imaging across multiple scales. The direct registration of in vivo imaging markers with ex vivo imaging
at the cellular level with a single probe is still challenging. Fluorinated
(19F) probes have been increasingly showing promising potentialities
for in vivo cell tracking by 19F-MRI.
Here we present the unique features of a bioorthogonal 19F-probe that enables direct signal correlation of MRI with Raman
imaging. In particular, we reveal the ability of PERFECTA, a superfluorinated
molecule, to exhibit a remarkable intense Raman signal distinct from
cell and tissue fingerprints. Therefore, PERFECTA combines in a single
molecule excellent characteristics for both macroscopic in
vivo19F-MRI, across the whole body, and microscopic
imaging at tissue and cellular levels by Raman imaging.

Abstract
Ninety-four years have passed since the discovery of the Raman effect, and there are currently more than 25 different types of Raman-based techniques. The past two decades have witnessed the blossoming of Raman spectroscopy as a powerful physicochemical technique with broad applications within the life sciences. In this review, we critique the use of Raman spectroscopy as a tool for quantitative metabolomics. We overview recent developments of Raman spectroscopy for identification and quantification of disease biomarkers in liquid biopsies, with a focus on the recent advances within surface-enhanced Raman scattering-based methods. Ultimately, we discuss the applications of imaging modalities based on Raman scattering as label-free methods to study the abundance and distribution of biomolecules in cells and tissues, including mammalian, algal, and bacterial cells.

Abstract
Observing multiple molecular species simultaneously with high spatiotemporal resolution is crucial for comprehensive understanding of complex, dynamic, and heterogeneous biological systems. The recently reported super-multiplex optical imaging breaks the “color barrier” of fluorescence to achieve multiplexing number over six in living systems, while its temporal resolution is limited to several minutes mainly by slow color tuning. Herein, we report integrated stimulated Raman and fluorescence microscopy with simultaneous multimodal color tunability at high speed, enabling super-multiplex imaging covering diverse molecular contrasts with temporal resolution of seconds. We highlight this technique by demonstrating super-multiplex time-lapse imaging and image-based cytometry of live cells to investigate the dynamics and cellular heterogeneity of eight intracellular components simultaneously. Our technique provides a powerful tool to elucidate spatiotemporal organization and interactions in biological systems. Integrated SRS and fluorescence microscopy with fast tunability has been developed Eight-color live-cell imaging can be conducted with a temporal resolution of seconds Super-multiplex time-lapse imaging reveals complex organelle interactions Super-multiplex image-based cytometry accesses high-dimensional heterogeneity

Abstract
Raman stable isotope labeling with 2 H, 13 C or 15 N has been reported as an elegant approach to investigate cellular metabolic activity, which is of great importance to reveal the functions of microorganisms in native environments. A new strategy termed Raman 18 O-labeling was developed to probe the metabolic activity of bacteria. Raman 18 O-labeling refers to the combination of Raman microspectroscopy with 18 O-labeling using H218 O. At an excitation wavelength of 532 nm, the incorporation of 18 O into the amide I group of proteins and DNA/RNA bases was observed in Escherichia coli cells, while for an excitation wavelength electronically resonant with DNA or aromatic amino acid absorption at 244 nm 18 O assimilation was detected using chemometric tools rather than visual inspection. Raman 18 O-labeling at 532 nm combined with 2D correlation analysis confirmed the assimilation of 18 O in proteins and nucleic acids and revealed the growth strategy of E. coli cells; they underwent protein synthesis followed by nucleic acid synthesis. Independent cultural replicates at different incubation times corroborated the reproducibility of these results. The variations in spectral features of 18 O-labeled cells revealed changes in physiological information of cells. Hence, Raman 18 O-labeling could provide a powerful tool to identify metabolically active bacterial cells.

Abstract
Raman-stable isotope labeling using heavy water (Raman-D2O) is attracting great interest as a fast technique with various applications ranging from the identification of pathogens in medical samples to the determination of microbial activity in the environment. Despite its widespread applications, little is known about the fundamental processes of hydrogen-deuterium (H/D) exchange, which are crucial for understanding molecular interactions in microorganisms. By combining two-dimensional (2D) correlation spectroscopy and Raman deuterium labeling, we have investigated H/D exchange in bacterial cells under time dependence. Most C-H stretching signals decreased in intensity over time, prior to the formation of the C-D stretching vibration signals. The intensity of the C-D signal gradually increased over time, and the shape of the C-D signal was more uniform after longer incubation times. Deuterium uptake showed high variability between the bacterial genera and mainly led to an observable labeling of methylene and methyl groups. Thus, the C-D signal encompassed a combination of symmetric and antisymmetric CD2 and CD3 stretching vibrations, depending on the bacterial genera. The present study allowed for the determination of the sequential order of deuterium incorporation into the functional groups of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids and hence understanding the process of biomolecule synthesis and the growth strategies of different bacterial taxa. We present the combination of Raman-D2O labeling and 2D correlation spectroscopy as a promising approach to gain a fundamental understanding of molecular interactions in biological systems.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming is a common hallmark in cancer. The high complexity and heterogeneity in cancer render it challenging for scientists to study cancer metabolism. Despite the recent advances in single-cell metabolomics based on mass spectrometry, the analysis of metabolites is still a destructive process, thus limiting in vivo investigations. Being label-free and nonperturbative, Raman spectroscopy offers intrinsic information for elucidating active biochemical processes at subcellular level. This review summarizes recent applications of Raman-based techniques, including spontaneous Raman spectroscopy and imaging, coherent Raman imaging, and Raman-stable isotope probing, in contribution to the molecular understanding of the complex biological processes in the disease. In addition, this review discusses possible future directions of Raman-based technologies in cancer research.

Chemical probes have been instrumental in microbiology since its birth as a discipline in the 19th century when chemical dyes were used to visualize structural features of bacterial cells for the first time. In this review article we will illustrate the evolving design of chemical probes in modern chemical biology and their diverse applications in bacterial imaging and phenotypic analysis. We will introduce and discuss a variety of different probe types including fluorogenic substrates and activity-based probes that visualize metabolic and specific enzyme activities, metabolic labeling strategies to visualize structural features of bacterial cells, antibiotic-based probes as well as fluorescent conjugates to probe biomolecular uptake pathways.
