The extinction curves of bacterial grains on which variable mass fractions of water-ice are condensed were calculated in order to assess the infrared properties of grains in dense interstellar molecular clouds. Because the ice band at 3.07 microns is stronger by a factor of several tens of thousands than the OH and CH stretching bands in organic materials, even a small mass fraction of ice condensed inside or on the surface of the particles modifies and tends to obscure the characteristic biological signature at 3.4 microns.
