Multi-kingdom microbial assemblage modulates its metabolism under contrasted cloud conditions.

ABSTRACT: Microorganisms maintain metabolic activity in clouds, with recognized impacts on the chemistry of small organic compounds, radicals, and their precursors. However, how microbial activity is modulated by cloud environmental variables remains unknown. Here we explored the metabolic response of an assemblage of representative microbial isolates from cloud water, composed of a basidiomycetous yeast (Dioszegia hungarica) and three bacterial strains (Rhodococcus enclensis, Pseudomonas syringae, and Pseudomonas graminis), in synthetic cloud water exposed to contrasted conditions of temperature (5°C vs 17°C), light (dark vs artificial solar light) and oxidants (0 μM vs 250 μM H₂O₂), to mimic typical cloud conditions during winter night and summer d
