UV-excited autofluorescence spectroscopy can provide information on the metabolic status of cellular systems, but applications to turbid media such as tissues can be complicated by the presence of multiple scattering, intrinsic absorption, and background fluorescence. Our broader aim is the sensing of cellular-level metabolic status in tissue based the real time assessment of autofluorescence signals using spectral phasor analysis. Previously, we analyzed metabolic responses in yeast cells embedded in turbid media containing significant background fluorescence from collagen. Not only were changes in metabolism detectable under these conditions, but responses associated with NADH- and NADPH-linked metabolisms could also be distinguished. NADH and NADPH are metabolic co-factors having nearly identical excited-state emission but playing significant and distinct roles in cellular metabolism. Here, we extend the phasor analysis approach by sensing metabolic responses of yeast cells embedded in turbid media containing hemoglobin as a source of optical absorption. A metabolic response is induced by chemical perturbation, e.g., by adding cyanide to inhibit cellular respiration or by adding peroxide to induce oxidative stress. We demonstrate that phasor analysis is a versatile tool, e.g., by showing that spectral response associated with changes to cellular metabolism versus optical absorption are spectrally distinct and cannot be accounted for using a two-component spectral model.
