Abstract
Painted environmental surfaces are prone to microbiological colonization with potential coating deterioration induced by the microorganisms. Accurate mechanistic models of these interactions require an understanding of the heterogeneity in which the deterioration processes proceed. Here, unsaturated biofilms (i.e., at air/solid interfaces) of the yeast Papiliotrema laurentii were prepared on polyether polyurethane (PEUR) and polyester-polyether polyurethane (PEST-PEUR) coatings and incubated for up to 33 days at controlled temperature and humidity with no additional nutrients. Transmission micro-Fourier transform infrared microscopy (μFTIR) confirmed preferential hydrolysis of the ester component by the biofilm. Atomic force microscopy combined with infrared nanospectroscopy (AFM-IR) was used to analyze initial PEST-PEUR coating deterioration processes at the single-cell level, including underlying surfaces that became exposed following cell translocation. The results revealed distinct deterioration features that remained localized within ∼10 μm or less of the edges of individual cells and cell clusters. These features comprised depressions of up to ∼300 nm with locally reduced ester/urethane ratios. They are consistent with a formation process initiated by enzymatic ester hydrolysis followed by erosion from water condensation cycles. Further observations included particle accumulation in the broader biofilm vicinity. AFM-IR spectroscopy indicated these to be secondary microplastics consisting of urethane-rich oligomeric aggregates. Overall, multiple contributing factors have been identified that can facilitate differential deterioration rates across the PEST-PEUR surface. Effects of the imposed nutrient conditions on Papiliotrema laurentii physiology were also apparent, with cells developing the characteristics of starvation response, despite the availability of polyester metabolites as a carbon source. The combined results provide new laboratory insights into field-relevant microbiological polymer deterioration mechanisms and biofilm physiology at polymer coating interfaces.

Abstract
Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy was used to monitor Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilms in situ, non-destructively, in real time, and under fully hydrated conditions. Changes accompanying the metabolic evolution of the sessile bacterial cells from the nascent biofilm monolayer to the beginning of the multi-layered structure in the presence of nutrients were identified via the ATR-FTIR fingerprints of the young biofilm on the ATR crystal. The ATR-FTIR spectra were analysed by classical methods (time evolution of integrated intensities and profile evolution of specific bands), and also by a multivariate curve resolution, Bayesian positive source separation, to extract the pure component spectra and their change of concentration over time occurring during biofilm settlement. This work showed clearly the overproduction of glycogen by sessile P. fluorescens, which had not previously been described by other research groups.
