Contribution of fungi to primary biogenic aerosols in the atmosphere: wet and dry discharged spores, carbohydrates, and inorganic ions [PDF]
, 2007 Biogenic aerosols play important roles in atmospheric chemistry physics, the biosphere, climate, and public health. Here, we show that fungi which actively discharge their spores with liquids into the air, in particular actively wet spore discharging ...

Variation in Airborne Fungal Spore Concentrations in Four Different Microclimate Regions in Romania
Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2013 Airborne fungal counts and types were examined in four regions from Romania. The aim of our study was to determine the concentrations of Alternaria, Cladosporium, Drechslera-type, Epicoccum and Nigrospora atmospheric fungal spores in urban areas: Braşov,

Airborne fungal spores of north-west Anatolia.
, 2016 Fungal spores of north-west Anatolia, Gemlik captured using Durham samplers were investigated. Accordingly 29.916 fungal spores per cm(2) area were counted and 32 taxa were determined in a year. The dominating taxa were; Cladosporium(27.97 %), Basidiomycetes (24.90%), Aspergillus/Penicillum (21.75%), Ustilaginales (10.03%) and Alternaria (3.95).

Airborne Bacterial Communities: Diversity, Survival Strategies and Functional Roles in the Atmosphere. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepThis mini‐review synthesises evidence on the taxonomic patterns of airborne microorganisms and the selective pressures they face. We highlight key conserved physiological traits, such as DNA repair and desiccation tolerance, which enable stress‐tolerant members to survive and suggest their potential for activity within the atmospheric environment ...
