Airborne Bacterial Communities: Diversity, Survival Strategies and Functional Roles in the Atmosphere

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This 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 ...
