Airborne dispersal of microalgae has largely been a blind spot in environmental
biological studies because of their low concentration in the atmosphere and the
technical limitations in investigating microalgae from air samples. Recent
studies show that airborne microalgae can survive air transportation and interact
with the environment, possibly influencing their deposition rates. This
minireview presents a summary of these studies and traces the possible route,
step by step, from established ecosystems to new habitats through air
transportation over a variety of geographic scales. Emission, transportation,
deposition, and adaptation to atmospheric stress are discussed, as well as the
consequences of their dispersal on health and the environment and
state-of-the-art techniques to detect and model airborne microalga dispersal.
More-detailed studies on the microalga atmospheric cycle, including, for
instance, ice nucleation activity and transport simulations, are crucial for
improving our understanding of microalga ecology, identifying microalga
interactions with the environment, and preventing unwanted contamination events
or invasions.
