“…Images of microorganisms and their aggregates have been published before using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) from either pure cultures or from substrates other than composts (Heikkilä et al, 1988;Klich, 2002;Kormendy and Wayman, 1972;Karlsson and Malmberg, 1989;Prescott et al, 1999a, b;Wittmaack et al, 2005). SEM has also been previously used as a technique for characterising morphological properties of small particles and bioaerosols (Friedbacher and Grasserbauer, 1995;Hiranuma et al, 2008;Pasanen et al, 1989;Skujins et al, 1971;Williams, 1970).…”

This research classifies the physical morphology (form and structure) of bioaerosols emitted from open windrow composting. Aggregation state, shape and size of the particles captured are reported alongside the implications for bioaerosol dispersal after release. Bioaerosol sampling took place at a composting facility using personal air filter samplers. Samples were analysed using scanning electron microscopy. Particles were released mainly as small (<1 μm) single, spherical cells, followed by larger (>1 μm) single cells, with aggregates occurring in smaller proportions. Most aggregates consisted of clusters of 2-3 particles as opposed to chains, and were <10 μm in size. No cells were attached to soil debris or wood particles. These small single cells or small aggregates are more likely to disperse further downwind from source, and cell viability may be reduced due to increased exposure to environmental factors.

“…Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (compound 21) 29 and its analogues 30 and borneol amine and its derivatives based on the camphor scaffold were reported to have anti-influenza activity. [31][32][33] In this study, we extended the hydrophobic scaffold of pinanamine and borneol amines with a camphor scaffold and designed some novel scaffold amino compounds which can inhibit the WT M2 ion channel of influenza A virus.…”
