Popis: In a previous publication, we trained predictive models based on Raman bulk spectra of microorganisms placed on a silicon dioxide protected silver mirror slide to make predictions for new Raman spectra, unknown to the models, of microorganisms placed on a different substrate, namely stainless steel. Now we have combined large sections of this data and trained a convolutional neural network (CNN) to make predictions for single cell Raman spectra. We show that a database based on microbial bulk material is conditionally suited to make predictions for the same species in terms of single cells. Data of 13 different microorganisms (bacteria and yeasts) were used. Two of the 13 species could be identified 90% correctly and five other species 71%–88%. The six remaining species were correctly predicted by only 0%–49%. Especially stronger fluorescence in bulk material compared to single cells but also photodegradation of carotenoids are some effects that can complicate predictions for single cells based on bulk data. The results could be helpful in assessing universal Raman tools or databases.
