Genomic basis of differential aerosolization of bacteria and viruses in sea spray
Airborne bacteria and viruses have direct consequences for atmospheric processes and human health, but little is known about factors controlling their transfer from the ocean to the atmosphere. Employing metagenomics in a unique experimental ocean-atmosphere facility, we elucidate species-specific transfer across the air–sea interface.
