Bioaerosols include fungi, bacteria, viruses, and pollen.Their concentrations are greatest in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) and decrease with altitude. Survival rate of bioaerosols depends on a number of biotic and abiotic factors which include climatic conditions, ultraviolet (UV) light, temperature and humidity, as well as resources present within dust or clouds.
An inoculation loop (also called a smear loop, inoculation wand or microstreaker) is a simple tool used mainly by microbiologists to pick up and transfer a small sample of microorganisms called inoculum from a microbial culture, e.g. for streaking on a culture plate. [1] [2] This process is called inoculation.
Indoor bioaerosols may originate from outdoor air and indoor reservoirs. [3] [4] Although outdoor bioaerosols cannot easily migrate into large buildings with complex ventilation systems, certain categories of outdoor bioaerosols (i.e., fungal spores) do serve as major sources for indoor bioaerosols in naturally ventilated buildings at specific periods of time (i.e., growing seasons for fungi).

An inoculation needle is an essential tool in inoculating a stab culture. [ 4 ] [ 7 ] A sterile stab culture cap is removed and the open end is flamed. The needle tip and its length is then pushed into the stab media and stopped once the needle tip reaches 0.5 inches away from the bottom of the stab media. [ 7 ]
The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA) said it has worked for months to develop the unique tool, which combines a horse's career and medical history into one platform.
In biology, inoculum (pl.: inocula) refers to the source material used for inoculation. Inoculum may refer to: In medicine, material that is the source of the inoculation in a vaccine; In microbiology, propagules: cells, tissue, or viruses that are used to inoculate a new culture
Microbial inoculants, also known as soil inoculants or bioinoculants, are agricultural amendments that use beneficial rhizosphericic or endophytic microbes to promote plant health.
