Passive dust collectors for assessing airborne microbial material

Microbiome

Table 2 Factors influencing bacterial community composition in settled dust samples. Permanova analyzes the statistical variance in biological Bray-Curtis dissimilarity among bacterial communities explained by different measured variables, where R ² represents the variance explained be each factor and the corresponding p value. The ratio in supervised learning refers to the ratio of the error in classifying microbial communities into categories of factors to the baseline error of random assignment, where a ratio of ~1 indicates no better classification than random

^aEach mix of vacuum dust was used for two rounds of collection in the experimental chamber. Refer to Table 1
^bNot applicable: the classification error into dust mix was 0; therefore, the ratio of baseline error to classification error was infinity
