Abstract
A condensation growth tube was adapted to capture bacterial bioaerosols directly into
genomic preservatives. As judged by quantitative PCR and direct microscopy, bioaerosol
condensation capture conserves airborne microbes' genomes as they exist in the atmospheric
environment. This method circumvents the collection stresses bioaerosols experience
on air filters, impactors and impingers.
