The global expansion of harmful cyanobacterial blooms (CyanoHABs) poses an increasing
threat to public health. CyanoHABs are characterized by the production of toxic metabolites …

The atmosphere connects habitats across multiple spatial scales via airborne dispersal of
microbial cells, propagules and biomolecules. Atmospheric microorganisms have been …

Aerosols of biological origin play a vital role in the Earth system, particularly in the
interactions between atmosphere, biosphere, climate, and public health. Airborne bacteria …

Globally, forests represent highly productive ecosystems that act as carbon sinks where soil
organic matter is formed from residuals after biomass decomposition as well as from …

Plants are hosts to complex communities of endophytic bacteria that colonize the interior of
both below-and aboveground tissues. Bacteria living inside plant tissues as endophytes can …

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

Global change is a defining feature of the Anthropocene, the current human-dominated
epoch, and poses imminent threats to ecosystem dynamics and services such as plant …

No studies have examined the relationships between bacterial communities along sites of
the upper aerodigestive tract of an individual subject. Our objective was to perform an …

Multiphase chemistry plays a vital role in the Earth system, climate, and health. Chemical
reactions, mass transport, and phase transitions between gases, liquids, and solids are …

The leaves of plants are colonized by various microorganisms. In comparison to the
rhizosphere, less is known about the characteristics and ecological functions of …
