This journal publishes research on microbial communities, their functions, and interactions with their environments. Studies investigate microbial metabolism, stress responses, and roles in food fermentation and spoilage. Research also explores microbial applications in biotechnology, such as enzyme production and biosensor development, as well as their involvement in host-associated processes and environmental remediation.
