ISME Journal

The ISME Journal seeks to promote diverse and integrated areas of microbial ecology spanning the breadth of microbial life, including bacteria, archaea, microbial eukaryotes, and viruses. Contributions of broad biological interest and impact are especially encouraged. Topics of particular interest within the journal’s scope include those listed below:
– Microbial population and community ecology.
– Microbe-microbe and microbe-host interactions.
– Evolutionary genetics.
– Integrated genomics and post-genomics approaches in microbial ecology.
– Microbial engineering.
– Geomicrobiology and microbial contributions to geochemical cycles.
– Microbial ecology and functional diversity of natural habitats.
– Microbial ecosystem impacts.
