Abstract
Bioaerosol is composed of different particles, originating from organisms, or their fragments with different origin, shape, and size. Sampling, analysing, identification and describing this airborne diversity has been carried out for over 100 years, and more recently the use of molecular genetic tools has been implemented. However, up to now there are no established protocols or standards for detecting airborne diversity of bacteria, fungi, viruses, pollen, and plant particles. In this review we evaluated commonalities of methods used in molecular genetic based studies in the last 23 years, to give an overview of applicable methods as well as knowledge gaps in diversity assessment. Various sampling techniques show different levels of effectiveness in detecting airborne particles based on their DNA. The storage and processing of samples, as well as DNA processing, influences the outcome of sampling campaigns. Moreover, the decisions on barcode selection, method of analysis, reference database as well as negati
