Improving SERS Detection of <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> Using  Silver Nanoparticles Reduced with Hydroxylamine and with Citrate Capped Borohydride

<table>Enhanced Raman spectra of <i>Bt</i> and Ag-NPs: (a) Spectrum of <i>Bt</i> suspended in 0.1 M NaCl at 15 hr of bacterial growth in contact with citrate capped borohydride reduced Ag-NPs; (b) Spectrum of <i>Bt</i> using chloride anion (1.0 M, NaCl) as aggregation agent for Ag-NPs; (c) Spectrum of borohydride reduced Ag-NPs aggregated by chloride anion (1.0 M, NaCl) without microorganisms.</table>
