Abstract
Suitability of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy for studying ch emical composition of conidial membranes, responsible for hydrophobic properties of the surface is demonstrated. Hydrophobic properties of c onidia, controlling adhesion of microorganisms to solid surfaces and s ubsequent biodegradation, are predicted based on the obtained ratios o f the chemical constituents.
