16s rRNA amplicon sequencing of airborne microorganisms in muddy rain
Microorganisms can attach to dust particles and be dispersed into the environment, being subsequently deposited by gravitational sedimentation (dry deposition) or through aqueous precipitation (wet deposition) also known as muddy rain. In this study, five muddy rain samples were collected in Granada (Spain) during different episodes in 2021-2022. 16s rRNA amplicon sequencing was employed to characterize the microorganisms in the muddy rain samples.
