With the development of modern sheep raising technology, increasing density animals in house leads to accumulation microbial aerosols house. It is an important prerequisite grasp characteristics bacteria solve problems air pollution and disease prevention control In this study, microorganisms present houses were investigated gain insights into structure bacterial communities prevalence pathogenic bacteria. Samples from six pens each three farms, totaling 18, collected August 2022 Ningxia province, China. A high-volume sampler was utilized for aerosol collection within housing followed by DNA extraction 16S rRNA sequencing. Employing high-throughput sequencing we conducted in-depth analysis populations various pen samples, enabling us assess community composition diversity. The results revealed a total 11,207 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) population across encompassing 152 phyla, 298 classes, 517 orders, 853 families, 910 genera, 482 species. Alpha diversity beta indicated that differences species diversity, evenness coverage between different samples. At phylum level, dominant groups are Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, among which Firmicutes (97.90–98.43%) highest. genus bacillus, Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, etc. had higher abundance, with Bacillus (85.47–89.87%) being Through meticulous examination high abundance diverse study provided valuable distinctive features prevalent air. These findings serve as foundation guiding effective strategies farming environments.

Abstract Human occupied built environments are no longer confined to Earth. In fact, there have been humans living and working in low-Earth orbit on the International Space Station (ISS) since November 2000. With NASA’s Artemis missions age of commercial space stations set begin, more human-occupied spacecraft than ever will be Earth’s beyond. On Earth ISS, microbes, especially fungi, can found dust grow when unexpected, elevated moisture conditions occur. However, we do not yet know how indoor microbiomes Earth-based homes ISS differ due their unique environmental conditions. Here show that bacterial fungal communities different collected from vacuum bags with being diverse (465 OTUs 237 ASVs) compared (102 102 ASVs). When these locations were exposed varying equilibrium relative humidity (ERH), also significant community composition changes as ERH time increased (Bray Curtis: R 2 = 0.35, P 0.001). These findings inform future design promote healthy support crew health, integrity, planetary protection.

This article examines the impact of fluid flow dynamics on microbial growth, distribution, and control within food processing systems. Fluid flows, specifically laminar turbulent significantly influence behaviors, such as biofilm development adhesion. Laminar is highly conducive to formation attachment because smooth steady. makes it much more difficult sterilize surface. Turbulent flow, however, due its chaotic motion shear forces that are present, inhibits growth disrupts attachment; also has potential contaminate surfaces by dispersing microorganisms. Computational (CFD) highlighted an essential component for processors predict movement enhance numerous fluid-dependent operations, including mixing, cooling, spray drying, heat transfer. analysis underscores significance in controlling hazards settings, discusses some interventions, antimicrobial surface treatments properly designed equipment. Each process step from mixing which influences transfer ensuring uniform distribution optimizing removal, presents unique requirements affecting formation, contamination control.
