The Importance of Microbes in the Air
Microorganisms such as bacteria, virus, and fungi am teeming in the air. These biological particles contributes to the ecological balance and
play an important role in agriculture, the biosphere, cloud formation, global climate, and atmospheric dynamics. However, they also affect
the environmental equality, and even act as a medium for the spread that leads to air pollution and human diseases. Airborne
microorganisms are a major cause of human respiratory diseases, such as asthma, allergies, and pathogenic infections. Both cultivation-
dependent and –independent methods can be used to explore microbial diversity in the air, uncovering the potential impacts on the natural
environment and human disease.

Accelerate Your Microbial Research in the Air
We analyze the microbiome of various environments including indoor and outdoor air, and their impact on human health using sequencing techniques like metagenomics sequencing,
16S/18S/ITS sequencing, and metranscriptomic sequencing. RT-qPCR is also used for achieving the qualitative and quantitative analysis of DNA or RNA. Bioinformatics analysis is required to
process raw reads and determine the taxonomic classifications, biological functions for ecological environment, and effects on human health.
The Main Research Directions
The sources of microorganisms and the relative contribution of each.
The community structure and abundance of airborne microorganisms at different places.
The relationship between airborne microorganisms and pollution of antibiotic resistance gene.
The airborne microorganisms and respiratory diseases of humans.
What Can We Do?
1. Measuring the types and abundance of microorganisms in the samples;
2. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of certain microorganisms in the samples;
3. Obtaining the microorganism strain by anaerobic culture.
