Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) at a silver microelectrode was used to monitor bacterial hydrolysis of triglycerides in lipid mixtures that model sebaceous gland secretions. Mixtures of wax esters, squalene, triolein, and triisostearin were used as model skin secretions. The transformatio...
