We demonstrate the possibility of using FTIR-spectroscopy to study the
chemical composition of conidia films and to define surface hydrophob
icity. It was possible to based on the data obtained for component rat
ios. This is the defining factor for microorganism adhesion to solid s
urfaces and for further processes of biodegradation.
