Abstract

The microbial metagenome characteristics of bioaerosols and particulate matter (PM) in the outdoor atmospheric environment and the effects of climate and environmental factors on the metagenome were analyzed. The concentrations of bacteria and fungi in bioaerosols and PM were determined by sampling different regions with different environmental properties. A variety of culture-independent methods were used to analyze the microbial metagenome in aerosols and PM samples. In addition, the effects of meteorological and environmental factors on the diversity and metagenomes of bacteria and fungi were investigated. The survival, growth, and dispersal of the microorganisms in the atmosphere were markedly affected by local weather conditions and the air pollutant concentration. The concentration of airborne microorganisms increased as the temperature increased, but their concentration decreased in summer, due to the effects of high temperatures and strong ultraviolet rays. Humidity and microbial concentration were positively correlated, but when the humidity was too high, the dispersion of airborne microorganisms was inhibited. These comprehensive data on the microbial metagenome in bioaerosols and PM may be used to understand the roles and functions of microorganisms in the atmosphere, and to develop strategies and abatement techniques to address the environmental and public health problems caused by these microorganisms.

본 논문에서는 실외 대기 환경의 바이오에어로졸 혹은 입자상물질의 미생물 메타게놈 특성과 이에 영향을 미치는 기후 및 환경 인자의 영향을 고찰하였다. 시료 채취 지역 및 환경 조건 특성별 대기 중 세균과 곰팡이 농도를 요약 하고, 에어로졸과 PM 시료의 세균과 곰팡이의 메타게놈 특성을 조사하기 위한 비배양법 기반 분석방법과 메타게놈 특성을 정리하였다. 또한, 세균과 곰팡이의 메타게놈 특성과 다양성 및 특성에 미치는 기상 인자와 환경 인자의 영향을 고찰하였다. 대기 중 미생물의 생존, 생장과 분산은 지역 기상 조건 및 대기 오염 물질에 의해 크게 영향을 받았다. 일반적으로 기온이 상승함에 따라 AM 농도는 증가하지만, 여름에는 고온과 강한 자외선의 영향으로 AM 농도가 감소하였다. 습도와 미생물 농도는 양의 상관성을 보이나, 습도가 너무 높으면 AM의 분산이 지연되었다. 이러한 종합적인 고찰 결과는 대기권에서 미생물의 역할과 기능을 이해하고, 이들 미생물에 의해 야기되는 환경 및 공중보건 문제를 해결하기 위한 전략 수립 및 저감 기술 개발에 활용될 수 있다.
