Characterization of the Cultivable Microbiota Components of Marine Bioaerosols in the North Tropical Atlantic

Microorganisms are key to balancing marine ecosystems and have complex interactions at the ocean–atmosphere interface, affecting global climate human health. This research investigated diversity of cultivable bacteria fungi in bioaerosols North Tropical Atlantic Ocean. Using technique spontaneous sedimentation selective culture media, samples were collected during oceanographic expeditions. After isolation purification, microbial strains identified by phenotypic genetic analyses. Fungi isolated included Acrophialophora, Aspergillus, Chrysosporium, Cladosporium, Fonsecaea, Mucor, Rhodotorula, Schizophyllum, Stemphylium, Candida, Curvularia, Cystobasidium, Exophiala, Neotestudina, Penicillium, Pestalotiopsis, Preussia. The bacterial isolates belonged Bacillota, Pseudomonadota, Enterobacteriaceae family, Bacillus genus, Serratia liquefaciens groups. About 40% 42% as potential pathogens, suggesting a relationship between actions microbiota present on high seas. Sea surface temperature (SST) wind speed influenced microorganisms. More studies analyses different scenarios should be conducted considering environmental variables order deepen knowledge generate information subject, so that standards can established, quality parameters determined.
