Energy Dispersion X-Ray Analysis by Scanning Electron Microscopy for Measuring Cellular Elemental Composition in Bacterial Cells

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The use of scanning electron microscopy in conjuction with energy dispersion analysis of X rays is presented as a technique in a novel application to in situ studies of cellular elemental composition. The method has been applied, in the example of its use reported here, to examining the effects of copper-chromearsenic wood preservative on growth and element uptake of selected bacteria in agar cultures.
