Covalently Immobilized Lignin–Xanthene Conjugates for Persistent Surface Photochemistry and Self‐Sterilizing Interfaces Under Ambient Visible Light

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.
Bio‐derived lignin–Eosin Y macromolecular networks are developed as visible‐light‐responsive self‐sterilizing coatings that generate reactive oxygen species without leaching. The spray‐coated photopolymerized surfaces exhibit durable antibacterial and antiviral activity under ambient light for extended periods, demonstrating a scalable and sustainable ...

Efficacy and Efficiency of an Atmospheric Pressure Dielectric Barrier Discharge Reactor (GAPS) for Air Disinfection

Plasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
A Grid‐like Air Plasma Sanitiser has been tested for the inactivation of airborne pathogens. This reactor demonstrates a 4.5 and 2.5‐log reduction in aerosolized E. coli and SARS‐CoV‐2, respectively. This device shows an energy efficiency per order index, 2 orders of magnitude lower than values reported for comparable plasma‐based systems.

Pollen Mineralization Fuels Biogeochemical Cycling and Microbial Community Succession in Lake Superior

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Pollen is a terrigenous particulate regarded as recalcitrant organic matter (OM) in aquatic ecosystems, seasonally introducing undetermined quantities of terrigenous OM to inland lakes. The role of pollen as a carbon and nutrient delivery mechanism for large aquatic ecosystems remains an understudied component of biogeochemical cycling.

Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis RNA in bioaerosols from pulmonary tuberculosis patients

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background: Bioaerosols from pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients are a quantitative predictor of transmission. Current methods involve sophisticated instruments and time-consuming techniques to assess viable TB bacteria in bioaerosols.

A fungal perspective: Ecological reinterpretation of short‐term temporal variation in airborne eDNA

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2524-2528, August 2026.
Abstract Airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) is a powerful tool for assessing biodiversity, but its temporal dynamics and applicability to fungi remain poorly understood. Here we discuss how short‐term airborne eDNA variation should be interpreted for fungal communities.

Machine‐Learning Microfluidic Minute‐Scale Microorganism Metrics Monitoring(M6)

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
ABSTRACT On‐site monitoring of microorganisms remains challenging because of low concentrations, strong background interference, and dynamic aerosol diffusion, particularly for aerosol‐transmitted pathogens. Here, we report a rapid detection platform that integrates a Puri‐focusing microfluidic chip, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and ...

Detection ofLegionella pneumophilain bioaerosols by polymerase chain reaction

, 2001
Most studies focusing on detecting microorganisms in air by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have used a liquid impinger to sample bioaerosols, mainly because a liquid sample is easy to be processed by PCR analysis.
