Bacterial cell growth is arrested by violet and blue, but not yellow light excitation during fluorescence microscopy

Abstract Background Fluorescence microscopy is a powerful tool in cell biology, especially for the study of dynamic processes. Intensive irradiation of bacteria with UV, blue and violet light has been shown to be able to kill cells, but very little information is available on the effect of blue or v...
