Annals of Microbiology

Aims & Scope

The aim of Annals of Microbiology is the advancement and dissemination of microbiological knowledge in the general, environmental, ecological (e.g. water, soil ecosystems, cultural heritage sites) and applied (e.g. food and industrial) fields.

The methodology is usually derived from the areas of biochemistry, molecular biology, physiology, biotechnology and taxonomy.

Papers reporting work on bacteria, fungi, microalgae, and bacteriophages are welcome.

The journal addresses researchers from both, academia and industry, working in microbiology, biotechnology or ecology.

Annals of Microbiology publishes Original Articles, Reviews and Mini-Reviews, Short Communications, and Editorials.

The journal’s scope does not include theoretical bioinformatics, medical microbiology or phytopathological microbiology.
