Abstract
Spores of fungi and actinomycetes are often aggregated, greatly affecting their aerodynamic behaviour with significance for both plant pathology and medicine. However, apart from experimental work with inorganic particles relative to industrial hygiene and lung deposition, the effects of aggregation on aerodynamic behaviour have been little studied. The available information is reviewed and methods are suggested for the study of microbial aggregates.Keywords
