Through several observational and mechanistic studies, microbial infection is known to promote cardiovascular disease. Direct of the vessel wall, along with risk factors, hypothesized play a key role in atherogenesis by promoting an inflammatory response leading endothelial dysfunction generating proatherogenic prothrombotic environment ultimately clinical manifestations disease, e.g., acute myocardial infarction or stroke. There are many reports DNA isolation even few studies viable...
The troposphere constitutes the final frontier of global ecosystem research due to technical challenges arising from its size, low biomass, and gaseous state. Using a vertical testing array comprising meteorological tower aircraft, we conducted synchronized measurements parameters airborne biomass ( n = 480) in air column up 3,500 m. taxonomic analysis metagenomic data revealed differing patterns microbial community composition with respect time day height above ground. temporal spatial...
Abstract Investigation of the microbial ecology terrestrial, aquatic and atmospheric ecosystems requires specific sampling analytical technologies, owing to vastly different biomass densities typically encountered. In particular, ultra-low nature air presents an inherent challenge that is confounded by temporal fluctuations in community structure. Our pipeline advances field bioaerosol research significantly reducing times from days/weeks/months minutes/hours, while maintaining ability...

Recent developments in aerobiology have enabled the investigation of airborne biomass with high temporal and taxonomic resolution. In this study, we assess contributions local sources to ambient air within a 160,000 m2 tropical avian park (AP). We sequenced analyzed 120 samples from seven locations situated 160 400 m apart, representing distinct microhabitats. Each microhabitat contained characteristic microbiome, defined by abundance richness its microbial community members, supported both,...
