“…Biological aerosols play roles as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN), and can have influence on cloud microphysics and precipitation (Zhang et al, 2021; Bauer et al, 2003; Möhler et al, 2007; Patade et al, 2021). Bioaerosols also include microorganisms of sanitary concern, such as pathogenic, opportunistic, or antibiotic resistant taxa (Rossi et al, 2022; Fernstrom et al, 2013; Beattie and Lindow, 1995), and, regardless of the potential hazards they may create, the fact that microbial cells can maintain metabolic activity (Krumins et al, 2014; Amato et al, 2019; Šantl-Temkiv et al, 2017) raises questions about their physiological properties and their role in atmospheric chemical processes (Wirgot et al, 2017; Khaled et al, 2021; Joly et al, 2015).…”
