title: Application of time-resolved diffuse reflectance techniques in studies of reaction intermediates in suspensions of Bacillus subtilis.
abstract: Short lived reaction intermediates such as triplet states and free radicals can be detected in vivo using laser photolysis techniques with time-resolved diffuse reflectance detection. This novel approach is illustrated for bacterial suspensions of Bacillus subtilis.
