Submit your next biotech article to Microbiology Microbiology invites submissions of research articles and reviews that focus on established and emerging topics in biotechnology. Thinkstock Luchschen
There are a wide range of applications for microbiology in the field of biotechnology, from industrial and environmental processes to developments in biopharmaceuticals. Articles are welcome that utilise microbial systems to develop technologies and products that could improve our lives or our environment. Editor-in-Chief Dr Tanya Parish Infectious Disease Research Institute, USA The biotechnology section of the journal is overseen by:
Senior Editor Dr Gavin Thomas University of York, UK Editor Dr Louise Horsfall University of Edinburgh, UK Editor Professor Saul Purton University College London, UK
Articles are invited on the following topics: • Metabolic engineering • Metabolomics • Genetic engineering • Synthetic biology • Directed evolution
• Bioremediation • Bioengineering • Protein engineering • Microbes as cell factories • Bioenergy
Microbiology combines editorial expertise from around the world with exceptional breadth of coverage. The journal’s 2015 impact factor is 2.268. There are no submission or page charges and the average time to first decision is four weeks. Authors can also choose to publish with our gold open access option, OpenMicrobiology.
