MICROBIAL ECOLOGY

微生物生态学是一个专门的国际论坛，提供高质量的科学调查，研究微生物如何与环境、彼此和宿主相互作用。它提供原始研究论文的全文和注释格式，以及简要的评论，评论和专题立场文件。该杂志由拉尔夫·米切尔博士于50多年前创办，他是位于马萨诸塞州剑桥市的哈佛大学应用生物学教授。它已经发展成为展示代表微生物生态学领域进展的手稿的首要场所。覆盖范围包括自然和工程环境中的微生物生态学;基因组学、元基因组学和分子相互作用的研究进展;微生物多样性与系统发育;生物地球化学过程的微生物驱动因素;种间和种内微生物通讯;人、动物、植物和昆虫微生物学与疾病的生态学研究;极端或不寻常环境中的微生物过程和相互作用;微生物种群，群落生态学，技术发展等等。

Microbial Ecology is a dedicated international forum for the presentation of high-quality scientific investigations of how microorganisms interact with their environment, with each other and with their hosts. It offers articles of original research in full paper and note formats, as well as brief reviews, commentaries and topical position papers. The journal was founded more than 50 years ago by Dr. Ralph Mitchell, Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Biology at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA. It has evolved to become a premier location for the presentation of manuscripts that represent advances in the field of microbial ecology.Coverage includes the ecology of microorganisms in natural and engineered environments; genomic, metagenomic and molecular advances in understanding of microbial interactions; microbial diversity and phylogeny; microbial drivers of biogeochemical processes; inter- and intraspecific microbial communication; ecological studies of human, animal, plant and insect microbiology and disease; microbial processes and interactions in extreme or unusual environments; microbial population, community ecology, technological developments and more.
