From: Fungal spore involvement in the resuspension of radiocaesium in summer
Number concentrations of DAPI-stained particles observed in the air samples collected from the forested and bare soil areas at Namie on 19 and 28 August and 7 and 17 September 2015, and the weather conditions on each sampling day. Particles have been classified by their colour and morphology: yellow particles ≥5 µm, organic aggregates; yellow particles <5 µm, organic particles/fungal spores; white particles ≥5 µm, mineral particles; white particles <5 µm, microbial particles; bacteria particles, bacteria; and black carbon particles, soot (so-called black carbon). Spore forms (orange bars), likely ascospores, were identified by morphology (see Fig. 2h,i).
