Bacteria as prominent biological particles in the atmosphere affect climate change and global hydrological cycles by acting as nuclei of ice-cloud formation,and the constant dispersal of viable bacteria is considered as a link between disjunct bacterial communities in distant areas. With a few data recently obtained,we show that concentrated bacteria including viable and non-viable bacteria are widespread with Asian dust plumes. Dust emission is likely a substantial source of bacteria as well as mineral particles in the atmosphere. In addition to the importance on climate change and ecosystem development,long-range transported dust deserves a new interdisciplinary study in respect to their potential functions weakening the geographical gradient of microorganism diversities and blurring distinctions between microbial species in global scale.
