As the most abundant living entities on our planet, microorganisms are fundamental to every aspect of life on Earth. Whether bacterial, viral, archaeal or eukaryotic in nature, microorganisms impact the dynamics and function of every niche in which they dwell, both host-associated and environmental. Their ubiquity combined with their diverse metabolic repertoire means that their activities are critical to processes with vast variation in scale: from driving global elemental biogeochemical cycles to modulating the function of a single cell.Nature Microbiology is interested in all aspects of microorganisms, be it their evolution, physiology and cell biology; their interactions with each other, with a host or with an environment; or their societal significance. Nature Microbiology provides a place where all researchers and policymakers interested in microorganisms can come together to learn about the most accomplished and significant advances in the field and to discuss topical issues. An online-only monthly journal, our broad scope ensures that the research published reaches the widest possible audience of microbiologists.Like all Nature-branded journals, Nature Microbiology is characterized by a dedicated team of professional editors, a fair and rigorous peer-review process, high standards of copy-editing and production, swift publication and editorial independence.In addition to publishing original research, Nature Microbiology will publish Commentaries, Reviews, News and Views, Features and Correspondence from across the full range of disciplines concerned with microorganisms.
微生物是地球上最丰富的生命体，对地球上生命的方方面面都至关重要。无论是细菌、病毒、古细菌还是真核生物，微生物都会影响它们所居住的每一个生态位的动态和功能，包括宿主相关的生态位和环境生态位。它们的无所不在，再加上它们多样的代谢体系，意味着它们的活动对于规模巨大的变化过程至关重要:从驱动全球元素生物地球化学循环，到调节单个细胞的功能。自然微生物学对微生物的各个方面都很感兴趣，无论是微生物的进化、生理还是细胞生物学;与宿主或环境的相互作用;或者他们的社会意义。《自然微生物学》为所有对微生物感兴趣的研究人员和决策者提供了一个场所，他们可以在这里共同了解该领域最成功和最重要的进展，并讨论当前的热点问题。作为一份仅供在线阅读的月刊，我们广泛的研究范围确保了所发表的研究成果能够接触到尽可能多的微生物学家。与所有的自然品牌杂志一样，《自然微生物学》的特点是拥有一支专业的编辑团队、公平严谨的同行评审流程、高标准的编辑和生产、快速出版和编辑独立性。除了发表原创研究，《自然微生物学》还将发表与微生物相关的各个学科的评论、评论、新闻和观点、特征以及通信。
