Research Abstract |
The microbial communities transported by Asian desert dust (KOSA) events have attracted much attention as bioaerosols, because the transported microorganisms are thought to influence the downwind ecosystems in Japan. In this study, halotolerant bacteria which are known to tolerant to atmospheric environmental stresses were detected as the long-range transport of microorganisms by KOSA. Bioaerosol samples were collected at high altitudes within the KOSA source area (Dunhuang City, China) and the KOSA arrival area (Suzu City, Japan) belonged to Bacillus subtilis group. Moreover, a bacterial detection technique was established for supporting the monitors of the long-range transport bacteria.
