Bio-Speckle Laser Technology In Revealing Microbial Radial Growth: A Review
Marwah Al-Ogaidi, Ali A. Al-Temeemy
In culture, observation of the microorganism development is significant in microbiology for the growth kinetics research and optimization, biomass, and metabolite synthesis. The technique of Biospeckle laser technology is non-invasive facilitating the monitoring regions with increased microbial activity in the colony. Effectiveness of Biospeckle laser technology (BLT) appeared in several research works, as a reliable approach for the observations of the kinetics of bacterial growth. In these works, the bacterial proliferation reduces both speckle grain sizes and spatial contrasts. Also, the speckle parameters show a high sensitivity degree to the fermentation conditions. This work examines speckle patterns and mathematical techniques for assessing the biospeckle activities, and the use of these techniques for showing microbial radial growth.
