Schematic of optical lysis by bubble cavitation. Laser irradiation produces a cavitation bubble in the medium near the target cell. As the bubble expands and comes into contact with the cell, the cell is disrupted. Microstreaming induced by oscillations in bubble size introduces shear stress to the cell, which enhances lysis performance.
