Article Synopsis
- The study examined airborne bacterial communities in Tokyo, analyzing their dynamics in relation to local meteorological conditions and the long-range transport of microbes.
- Samples were collected over 48 to 72 hours and analyzed for microbial diversity using next generation sequencing, showing that while source regions shifted from oceanic to continental origins, the community composition remained stable.
- Findings indicated that local factors like relative humidity and wind speed significantly impacted microbial diversity, with soil and bay seawater identified as major local sources, particularly influenced by humidity and soil moisture levels.
