The presence of bacteria in aerosols has been known for centuries, but information on their
identity and role in dispersing microbial traits is still limited. This study monitored the …

Bacteria are ubiquitous in the atmosphere, where they form a highly diverse community,
albeit low in abundance. Several approaches are available for collecting airborne particles …

The spatial distribution of bacterial populations in marine bioaerosol samples was
investigated during a cruise from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea via Skagerrak and Kattegat …

Microbial entities (such bacteria, fungi, archaea and viruses) within outdoor aerosols have
been scarcely studied compared with indoor aerosols and nonbiological components, and …

The study of airborne biological particles ('bioaerosols') has gained interest in recent years,
due to an increasing amount of evidence suggesting that this fraction of airborne particulate …

Pathogenic bacteria dispersed into the outdoor air from natural events or human activity are
an important concern affecting public health, agriculture, ecological health and international …

Despite airborne microorganisms representing a relevant fraction of atmospheric suspended
particles, only a small amount of information is currently available on their abundance and …

Aims: A high‐volume aerosol collector was developed to efficiently capture airborne bacteria
in order to assess levels of diversity in the air. Methods and Results: Particulate matter was …

The abundance, biomass and the taxonomic composition of the total airborne bacterial
communities in a coastal urban area of Northeastern Mediterranean Sea were examined. In …

The density, genetic structure and diversity of airborne bacterial communities were assessed
in the outdoor atmosphere. Two air samples were collected on the same location (north of …
