Abstract. The abundance and speciation of primary biological aerosol particles (PBAP) is important for understanding their impacts on human health, cloud formation and ecosystems. Towards this, we have developed a protocol for quantifying PBAP collected from large volumes of air with a portable wet-walled cyclone bioaerosol sampler. A flow cytometry (FCM) protocol was then developed to quantify and characterize the PBAP populations from the sampler, which were confirmed against epifluorescence microscopy. The sampling system and FCM analysis were used to study PBAP in Atlanta, GA over a two-month period and showed clearly defined populations of DNA-containing particles: Low Nucleic Acid-content particles (bioLNA), High Nucleic Acid-content particles (HNA) being fungal spores and pollen. We find that daily-average springtime PBAP concentration (1 to 5 μm diameter) ranged between 1.4 × 104 and 1.1 × 105 m−3. The BioLNA population dominated PBAP during dry days (72 ± 18 %); HNA dominated the PBAP during humid days and following rain events, where HNA (e.g., wet-ejected fungal spores) comprised up to 92 % of the PBAP number. Concurrent measurements with a Wideband Integrated Bioaerosol Sensor (WIBS-4A) showed that FBAP and total FCM counts are similar; HNA (from FCM) significantly correlated with ABC type FBAP concentrations throughout the sampling period (and for the same particle size range, 1–5 μm diameter). However, the FCM bioLNA population, possibly containing bacterial cells, did not correlate to any FBAP type. The lack of correlation of any WIBS FBAP type with the bioLNA suggest bacterial cells may be more difficult to detect with autofluorescence than previously thought. Ιdentification of bacterial cells even in the FCM (bioLNA population) is challenging, given that the fluorescence level of stained cells at times may be comparable to that seen from abiotic particles. HNA and ABC displayed highest concentration on a humid and warm day after a rain event (4/14), suggesting that both populations correspond to wet-ejected fungal spores. Overall, information from both instruments combined reveals a highly dynamic airborne bioaerosol community over Atlanta, with a considerable presence of fungal spores during humid days, and a bioLNA population dominating bioaerosol community during dry days.

Starvation caused a marked increase in putrescine content in mammary gland of lactating rats, together with a marked decrease in activity of ornithine decarboxylase and appearance of measurable ornithine decarboxylase antizyme. 2. Refeeding for 5 h caused disappearance of free antizyme and ornithine decarboxylase activity returned to the value in fed animals. Putrescine concentration remained elevated. 3. There was no significant change in nucleic acid content of mammary gland from starved rats, but spermidine and spermine contents increased significantly. 4. Refeeding for 5 h returned the spermidine content of mammary glands to ‘fed’ values, and significantly decreased the content of spermine, although it did not reach control values. Thus changes in polyamine content of mammary gland in starved rats are clearly dissociated from changes in either RNA content or activities of polyamine-synthetic decarboxylases. 5. Starvation caused a fall in the content of spermidine in liver, with no change in spermine content. Refeeding for 5 h returned the spermidine content to ‘fed’ values.
