| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In recent years, many epidemiological studies have shown that dust events are associated with an increase in risk of mortality and patients of cardiovascular and respiratory illness. However, there are few data about airborne bacteria. In this study, we investigated the airborne bacteria in the atmosphere over Taklimakan Desert in China, Asian dust source, and over Ishikawa prefecture in Japan. The airborne bacteria were collected on 0.45 um-pore size filter by vacuum pump, and their DNA were extracted from the filter and analyzed by their DNA sequence. The results suggested that DNA concentrations in the atmosphere over Ishikawa in Japan had been higher after dust storm in the deserts of China. Some airborne bacteria were identified by matching to the sequences of DNA database. Some results suggested that the diversity of airborne bacteria in the higher atmosphere was lower than that near the ground surface.
