| | The influence of air pollution on the phyllosphere microflora composition of Tillandsia leaves (Bromeliaceae) |
| | We also observed on both Tillandsia species, from the polluted site, a reduction of the number of the organisms in each of the considered microbial groups. | | | The absence of species belonging to the genus Pseudomonas on polluted Tillandsia caput- medusae does not seem to be correlated with air pollution effects because Pseudomonas is present even on Tillandsia schiedeana polluted leaves. | | | The same species with some small differences occur in both unpolluted leaves, while on polluted leaves Tillandsia schiedeana showed more bacterial species than Tillandsia caput medusae. |
