Journal of Microbiological Methods

The Journal of Microbiological Methods publishes Research, Review and Short Communication articles on novel, state-of-the-art, and significantly improved methodologies in microbiology. Innovative, validated applications of existing methods that advance the field are also welcome. JMM considers research on all types of microorganisms including protozoa, fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Data must clearly support method interpretation and utility.

The scope includes, but is not limited to:

· Environmental, Agricultural & Ecological Microbiology: Applied and environmental microbiology, microbial ecology and diversity, soil/sediment/geomicrobiology, microbiomes, rumen microbiology, and methods for extreme environments including space missions.

· Genetics, Molecular & Cellular Microbiology: Microbial genetics, genomics, molecular microbiology, physiology, ultrastructure, imaging, high-throughput sequencing, omics technologies (metabolomics, metagenomics, proteomics, transcriptomics), bioinformatics, and mathematical modeling.

· Clinical, Medical, Veterinary & Public Health Microbiology: Diagnostics, clinical and veterinary microbiology, public health, vaccine development, sero-diagnostics, immunology, typing, and microbial identification.

· Microbial Interactions & Pathogenesis: Host-pathogen interactions, microbiome interactions, plant-microbe relationships, parasitology, and mycology.

· Virology: Innovative approaches for virus detection, isolation, quantification, and characterization, including molecular techniques, cell culture assays, viral genomics, imaging technologies, and high-throughput screening methods.

· Technological Advances & Method Development: Bioassays, biosensors biochemical methods, sampling techniques, robotics, and radioisotope applications in microbiology.

· Food Microbiology: Studies on the role of microorganisms in food production, preservation, spoilage, and foodborne illnesses.

· Industrial Microbiology: Explores the industrial applications of microorganisms, such as in the production of pharmaceuticals, enzymes, and biofuels.

· Mathematical modelling, computer science, and artificial intelligence techniques.

We invite proposals for review articles and special issues on emerging microbiological methods driving scientific progress.
