Genomic and Phenotypic Classification of Staphylococcus Species Isolated From Delhi Air. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Multiple Staphylococcus spp. were isolated from the outdoor polluted air of the Indian Capital, New Delhi. The bacterial samples were collected from 6 different locations, and the whole genome of four Staphylococcus isolates was sequenced in their entirety. This study presents the comparative genomic analysis of these four isolates.

First Characterization and Description of Aspergillus Series Versicolores in French Bioaerosols

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Air quality can be altered by fungal contaminants suspended in the air, forming bioaerosols. Aspergilli section Nidulantes series Versicolores are recurrent in bioaerosols and are mainly responsible for allergies and asthma aggravation.
