Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 7. Long-term (60 min) bioaerosol sampling efficiency. (a) Total biological sampling efficiency of the tested bioaerosol samplers compared to that of AGI-30. (b) Microorganism survival ratio for AGI-30 as compared to that of microorganisms before aerosolization. (c) microorganism relative survival ratio of the tested bio aerosol samplers compared that of AGI-30. (d) Relative enrichment ratio of the tested bioaerosol samplers compared to that of AGI-30. All experiments were replicated three times. * represents a significant difference (P < 0.05) from AGI-30 in terms of the respective microorganism, and # represents a significant difference from the 60-min sampling of PhiX174 in the same aerosol sampler in (a), (c), and (d). * represents a significant difference from no biological impairment (Survival Ratio = 1) in (b).
Article Snippet: Then, E. coli phage phiX174 (ATCC 13706-B1), which is stored in our laboratory, was added and inoculated at 37 ◦C and 200 rpm for 4 h. The bacterial and phage culture suspension was centrifuged at 12000 × g for 10 min.
