Indoor potted plants have little effect on office dust fungal communities by Abigail Leslie, Muhtashim Rafiq Chowdhury, Martin Täubel, Bridget Hegarty

“…Plant status had no effect on the alpha or beta diversity, nor the network structure, of the office’s fungal community. A small fraction of the highly abundant soil ASVs were found in the dust samples (0.6 ± 1.5 %), while a larger fraction of the highly abundant dust ASVs were found in the soil samples (27.1 ± 17.4 %), suggesting a small degree of bidirectional exchange between their fungal communities. …”
