JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR MICROBIOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY

We are entering a new and exciting era of microbiological study and application. Recent advances in the now established disciplines of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics, together with extensive cooperation between academic and industrial concerns have brought about an integration of basic and applied microbiology as never before. The Journal of Molecular Microbiology and Biotechnology (JMMB) aims to reflect this development by publishing original research papers from all areas of microbiology and biotechnology. It also features written symposia on selected topics, timely reviews and minireviews. Theoretical approaches and descriptions of novel, microbiologically relevant software is also considered. Contributions and ideas from large segments of the scientific community are welcome to make JMMB a viable, much-needed and up-and-coming forum for current basic and applied microbiological research.

我们正在进入一个令人兴奋的微生物研究和应用的新时代。基因组学、蛋白质组学和生物信息学等现有学科的最新进展，加上学术界和工业界的广泛合作，使基础微生物学和应用微生物学实现了前所未有的融合。《分子微生物与生物技术杂志》(JMMB)旨在通过发表来自微生物学和生物技术各个领域的原始研究论文来反映这一进展。它还包括对选定主题的书面专题讨论会、及时的评论和小评论。理论方法和描述新颖的，微生物相关的软件也被考虑。欢迎广大科学界人士的贡献和想法，使JMMB成为当前基础和应用微生物研究的一个可行的、急需的和有前途的论坛。
