Furthermore, Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging is used to explore the strain and nutrient dependent secretion of the virulence factor pyocyanin in biofilms of P. aeruginosa laboratory and CF isolate strains cultured in media supplemented with either glucose or glutamate as the source of carbon. cache/1544bp0187c.txt txt/1544bp0187c.txt
