Abstract This work presents measurements of bioaerosol diversity and ice nucleating particle (INP) concentration in total suspended particulate matter along a transect the North‐Western Himalayan Region. Drop freezing assay was used to measure INP spectra. Flow cytometry analysis performed examine abundance autofluorescent entities samples. The DNA sequences were analyze relative abundance, diversity, putative functional traits community. concentrations varied from 1.5 × 10 −3 5.5 L −1 air...
ABSTRACT Vitamin B1 (thiamin) is a vital nutrient for most cells in nature, including marine plankton. Early and recent experiments show that degradation products instead of can support the growth bacterioplankton phytoplankton. However, use occurrence some remains uninvestigated, namely N-formyl-4-amino-5-aminomethyl-2-methylpyrimidine (FAMP), which has been focus plant oxidative stress research. We investigated relevance FAMP ocean. Experiments global ocean meta-omic data indicate...
In addition to obvious negative effects on water quality in eutrophic aquatic ecosystems, recent work suggests that harmful cyanobacterial blooms (CHABs) also impact air via emissions carrying cells and cyanotoxins. However, the environmental controls CHAB-derived aerosol its potential public health impacts remain largely unknown. Accordingly, aims of this study were 1) investigate occurrence microcystin (MC) putatively toxic communities particulate matter < 2.5 µm diameter (PM2.5), 2)...
