A Method for Collecting Atmospheric Microbial Samples From Set Altitudes for Use With Next-Generation Sequencing Techniques to Characterize Communities

Dispersal of airborne microorganisms is an important ecological process, resulting in the distribution of bacteria to all habitats on Earth. Investigation of this process is limited by the ability to collect uncontaminated high-altitude microbial samples for use with next-generation sequencing appro...
