Microbiological Research is devoted to publishing reports on prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms such as yeasts, fungi, bacteria, archaea, and protozoa. Research on interactions between pathogenic microorganisms and their environment or hosts are also covered. The research should be original and include molecular aspects to generate a significant contribution of broad interest. Papers of rather specialised or of preliminary and descriptive content will normally not be considered. Studies in the following sections are included:
Reviews/Minireviews on all aspects
Microbiology and Genetics
Molecular and Cell Biology
Metabolism and Physiology
Signal transduction and Development
Biotechnology
Phytopathology
Environmental Microbiology and Ecology
