Cowan D, Cary S, DiRuggiero J, Eckardt F, Ferrari B, Hopkins D, et al.
Microorganisms . 2023 Jul; 11(7). PMID: 37512843
Water availability is the dominant driver of microbial community structure and function in desert soils. However, these habitats typically only receive very infrequent large-scale water inputs (e.g., from precipitation and/or...

Casamayor E, Caliz J, Triado-Margarit X, Pointing S
Curr Opin Biotechnol . 2023 Apr; 81:102945. PMID: 37087840
The atmosphere is a major route for microbial intercontinental dispersal, including harmful microorganisms, antibiotic resistance genes, and allergens, with strong implications in ecosystem functioning and global health. Long-distance dispersal is...

Archer S, Lee K, Caruso T, Alcami A, Araya J, Cary S, et al.
Sci Total Environ . 2023 Feb; 871:162137. PMID: 36775167
The dispersion of microorganisms through the atmosphere is a continual and essential process that underpins biogeography and ecosystem development and function. Despite the ubiquity of atmospheric microorganisms globally, specific knowledge...

Santl-Temkiv T, Amato P, Casamayor E, Lee P, Pointing S
FEMS Microbiol Rev . 2022 Feb; 46(4). PMID: 35137064
The atmosphere connects habitats across multiple spatial scales via airborne dispersal of microbial cells, propagules and biomolecules. Atmospheric microorganisms have been implicated in a variety of biochemical and biophysical transformations. ...

Maki T, Lee K, Pointing S, Watanabe K, Aoki K, Archer S, et al.
Sci Total Environ . 2021 Jun; 791:148026. PMID: 34119785
The western Pacific Ocean is particularly affected by dust aerosols due to the transport of desert-natural sand and industrially derived particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 μm (PM2.5) from...

Garrido-Benavent I, Perez-Ortega S, Duran J, Ascaso C, Pointing S, Rodriguez-Cielos R, et al.
Front Microbiol . 2020 Mar; 11:126. PMID: 32117148
Glacier forefields provide a unique chronosequence to assess microbial or plant colonization and ecological succession on previously uncolonized substrates. Patterns of microbial succession in soils of alpine and subpolar glacier...
