This journal publishes research on microbial communities and their interactions with hosts and environments. Studies investigate the identification and characterization of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, and their roles in producing enzymes, biopolymers, and toxins. Research also explores the potential of microbes and their products for applications in food, health, and agriculture, including the development of diagnostics, therapeutics, and sustainable industrial processes.
