| Popis: | Environmental and forensic scientists along withindustrial institutions are exploring more use of IR spectroscopy together withchemometrics for various applications. It can be used to detect the pollutionlevel of the environment and to screen the promising microbial isolates to beapplied for the bioremediation. Food, petroleum, drug industries and tirefactories apply this technique both in their laboratories and in field foranalytical purposes. IR spectroscopy has also gained attention in criminologydue to its high sensitivity and speed in the analysis of evidential material.Identity and gender of a victim, narcotic drug abuse, toxins and explosives can be identified using thistechnique coupled to chemometrics. Analysis of body fluids is also possible forthe identification of forensic species, which is a crucial part ofinvestigation at a crime scene. Moreover, it can be administered for robust andefficient identification of old skeletal fossils or fragmented anatomicalremnants, which is a difficult task for forensic specialists. It is known thatbiological agents such as bacteria and viruses can be exploited in bioterroristacts or germ warfare. Rapid discrimination of these microbial species areachieved using IR based identification methods in forensic studies. In ourstudy, we applied IR coupled chemometrics for the determination of heavy metalresistant environmental bacterial species. Although we did not study theforensic features of these bacteria directly, knowing the environmentalmicrobial profile can help to find the place where the crime took place and toreveal the timeframe in good confidence.The study was funded by TUBITAK-CAYDAG (Grant No: 113Y515) |
