Taxon-specific aerosolization of bacteria and viruses in an experimental ocean-atmosphere mesocosm

Taxon-specific aerosolization of bacteria and viruses in an experimental ocean-atmosphere mesocosm

Factors controlling the transfer of microbes from the ocean to the atmosphere are unclear. Here, Michaud et al. study this process in an enclosed ocean-atmosphere facility, and show that the degree of aerosolization of bacteria and viruses is taxon-specific.
