Paper Abstract
In the present paper we report on initial attempts to correlate changes in polarized light scattering signals from bacteria and bacterial spores with changes in physical parameters as a result of heat and UV exposure. Clear reproducible changes can be observed, but quantitative correlation such as measuring the degree of germination or survivability needs further study. Average cell size changes can be measured quickly in bacteria such as after UV exposure or during the growth cycle, making the used technique very valuable to monitor changes. Computer modelling is needed to distinguish effects caused by size changes and by changes in index of refraction.
