Seoul, South Korea 2022 Spring PM2.5 bacteria

This project investigates the bacterial communities in PM2.5 samples collected from Seoul, South Korea, during the spring of 2022. DNA was extracted from the particulate matter, and 16S rRNA was amplified and sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform. The study aims to characterize the bacterial diversity in the atmosphere and understand the potential environmental and seasonal influences on bacterial populations in airborne particulate matter.
