    In this note, we investigate partial regularity of weak solutions of the three dimensional chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes equations, and obtain the 53\frac53-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the possible singular set is vanishing at the first blow-up time. The new ingredients are to establish certain type of local energy inequality and deal with the non-scaling invariant quantity of nlnnn\ln n, which seems to be the first description for the singular set of weak solutions of the chemotaxis-fluid model, which is motivated by Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg's partial regularity theory \cite{CKN}

    We study the Cauchy problem for the chemotaxis Navier-Stokes equations and the Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system. Local-in-time and global-in-time solutions satisfying fundamental properties such as mass conservation and nonnegativity preservation are constructed for low regularity data in 22 and higher dimensions under suitable conditions. Our initial data classes involve a new scale of function space, that is \Y(\rn) which collects divergence of vector-fields with components in the square Campanato space \mathscr{L}_{2,N-2}(\rn), N>2N>2 (and can be identified with the homogeneous Besov space \dot{B}^{-1}_{22}(\rn) when N=2N=2) and are shown to be optimal in a certain sense. Moreover, uniqueness criterion for global solutions is obtained under certain limiting conditions
