Intra cellular fluorescence for monitoring the physiological changes and biostimulation of yeast irradiated with low power 532nm cw nd : YAG laser

Abstract EN

The purpose of this study is to investigate the biostimulation effect of 532 nm CW laser on the metabolism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast.

Cells were irradiated by 532 nm Nd:YAG laser using 0.153 W/cm2 power density at 30, 45, 60,180 and 300 seconds exposure times in their respective orders.

Intrafluorescence parameters were measured by detection the autofluorescence intensity, proliferation rate and Imaging the fluorescent mitochondria using confocal laser scanning microscope.

The results showed that the 30 and 45 second exposure times seem to have stimulated changes in the cells that led to increase proliferation, viability and mitochondrial activity.

Autofluorescence of cells increased after 45 and 60 seconds exposure time.

After 300 seconds there seems to be very noticeable decrease in proliferation, viability and autofluorescence.

Confocal microscopy images showed that here is a correlation between fluorescence intensity using mitochondrial probes and proliferation rates of cells.
