Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) does not require optically transparent samples and is, therefore, well suited for analysis of solid‐state samples. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)‐PAS of solid materials containing protein exhibited strong absorption in the amide I and amide II regions of the IR spectrum. Growth of a filamentous fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium , on cellulose discs was quantitatively determined by monitoring amide I absorption with FTIR‐PAS.
