JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR MICROBIOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY
About the Journal
Aims and Scope
We are entering an exciting post-genomic era of microbial physiological study employing classical as well as OMICS approaches, allowing an understanding of the microbe and its interactions from a holistic perspective.
Encompassing approaches may include physiology, biochemistry, molecular genetics, and the application of the entire range of OMICS and single cell technologies. Their integration will allow a systems biology understanding of microbiology at a level never previously attained. Contributions can range from pure culture studies to consortial and host-microbe interaction analyses as well as single intriguing reactions to the metabolic network level.
The scope also includes new routes for the development of innovative and sustainable biotechnologies. In addition to original research articles, the journal features written symposia on selected topics, timely reviews and mini reviews. Theoretical approaches, educational articles, description of novel microbiologically relevant methods (incl. software) are also welcome.
Article Types
Research Articles
Research Articles report on primary research. They must describe significant and original observations. Consideration for publication is based on the article’s originality, novelty, and scientific soundness, and the appropriateness of its analysis.
Research Articles are reports of original work. Authors are asked to follow the EQUATOR Network for Research Articles.
Prior approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or an Ethics Review Committee is required for all investigations involving human subjects.

Review Articles
Review Articles are considered reviews of research or summary articles. They are state-of-the-art papers covering a current topic by experts in the field. They should give evidence on and provide answers to a well-defined aspect or question in a particular area. Review Articles must include a critical discussion of the reported data and give a clear conclusion with potential impacts on the standard of care.

Review Article (DOCX, 23.06 KB)
Review articles should have a maximum of 9,000 words, plus tables/figures, references.
Brief Reports
Brief Reports are short and/or rapid announcements of research results. They must contain data derived from cutting-edge research and be of potential interest to a large proportion of the readership. They are independent, concise reports representing a significant contribution to the field. Such communications should represent complete, original studies and should be arranged in the same way as full-length manuscripts with subheadings.
