Airborne Bacterial Communities in Three East Asian Cities of China, South Korea, and Japan

Abstract The global diversity of airborne bacteria has not yet been studied, despite its importance in human health and climate change. Here, we focused on the diversity of airborne bacteria and their correlations with meteorological/environmental conditions in China, South Korea, and Japan. Beijing...
