This journal publishes research on the characterization, identification, and application of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Studies investigate their roles in various environments such as soil, food, human health, and wastewater treatment, often employing molecular techniques like gene sequencing and metagenomics. The research also explores the antimicrobial properties of microbial products, the impact of microbial communities on host health and ecosystems, and the potential of microorganisms in biotechnology and environmental remediation.
