About the journal
Anaerobe is a new multi-disciplinary journal that provides a unique forum for research on the biology of anaerobic microorganisms. The journal focuses on life processes in strict anaerobes and anaerobic activities of facultative or microaerophilic bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. A comprehensive resource, this journal is essential reading for all those wishing to keep up-to-date with the latest discoveries in this field. Created especially for the international community, it addresses the needs of those working on a group of organisms of exceptional academic, environmental, industrial, economic, and medical importance.
Anaerobe publishes original research articles, short communications, and reviews. Papers describing innovative methodologies, technologies, and applications are also featured. Examples of topics welcomed include such diverse areas as pathogenesis, clinical infections, industrial processes, stress responses, evolution, environmental activities, food spoilage, bioremediation, and dental disease.
Instructions to Authors
Anaerobe welcomes original papers on all areas of research related to biological activities in strict anaerobic or microaerophilic environments. Studies pertaining to obligate or facultative anaerobes, including both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, are encouraged. The journal will consider original reports in the areas of metabolism, biochemistry, physiology, pathogenesis, electron transport, taxonomy, systematics, molecular biology, industrial processes, ecology, veterinary science, evolution, infectious diseases, environmental activities, genetics, biotechnology, antimicrobial agents, food spoilage, environmental microbiology, cell energetics, biotransformations, biocorrosion, normal flora, respiration, methanogenesis, bioremediation, immunology, fermentation, epidemiology, vaccines, waste treatment and isolation as it relates to anaerobes. Short communications are also welcome, as well as original and genuine advances to methodology as applied to anaerobes. Review articles will normally be commissioned, but suggestions for reviews are actively encouraged. A major aim of the journal is to facilitate communication among different specialties.

Authors should indicate the journal section to which the paper is submitted on the title page. The Editor-in-Chief or the Associate Editor heading that section of the journal will be responsible for the management of the paper.
Each original article will be independently reviewed by at least two appropriate referees. On average, a decision will be reached within 4-5 weeks of the receipt of the manuscript.
To avoid delay, telephone, fax and e-mail will be used wherever possible. Publication will follow within 12 to 16 weeks of the acceptance date, assuming prompt return of proofs.
The submission of a manuscript will be taken to imply that the material is original and has not been submitted in equivalent form for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts are accepted for review on the understanding that all persons listed as authors have given their approval for the submission, and that any person cited as a source of personal communication has approved such citation. To speed handling, give your telephone, fax and e-mail number on the front page of the manuscript, together with your complete address for correspondence.
Preparation of manuscripts Manuscripts, in the English language, must be typed, double-spaced on one side of A4 (or equivalent) paper. Please use good quality white paper with at least 25mm (1 in) margins on all sides. All pages should be numbered in sequence beginning with the title page. Submit the original copy plus 4 copies of all elements, which should be arranged in the following order:
Title page The title page should give: the title of the article; the authors names and affiliations; the name, address, telephone, fax and e-mail address of the author responsible for correspondence; the category for which the manuscript is being submitted; and a short title of not more than 50 characters (running title).
Abstract An abstract must accompany each manuscript on a separate page, and should not normally exceed 200-500 words. It should be intelligible to the general reader without reference to the main text. No references or abbreviations should be used in the abstract.
Keywords Five keywords, which may or may not appear in the title, should be listed.
Text This should follow the format: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions, Acknowledgements and References.
Tables Tables must be cited in the text and numbered consecutively with arabic numerals (Table 1, Table 2, etc) in order of their text citation. Each table should be typed in double space throughout on a separate sheet of paper and grouped at the end of the manuscript. Tables must include a title and a legend, which should provide enough information to allow understanding without reference to the text.
Figures All figures must be cited in the text and the legends should be numbered, consecutively, with arabic numerals. Legends should be typed double-spaced on a separate piece of paper and not on the figures themselves. Legends should be sufficiently detailed to allow understanding without reference to the text. If necessary, the top should be marked in soft pencil on the back of the figure. All illustrations should be in a form suitable for reproduction. Photographs should be glossy prints with strong contrasts, and the magnification should be indicated by a scale. Illustrations in colour can only be accepted at the authors expense.
Acknowledgements Acknowledgements should be included at the end of the text and not as footnotes.
References Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text in square brackets, ([1], [3-7], etc). If cited in tables or figure legends, references are to be cited according to position in the manuscript. In the reference list, all authors should be cited, and references for original papers and for books must appear in the following form:

Use of material published in the journal Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, exclusive copyright in the article shall be assigned to the Publisher.
The Publisher will not put any limitation on the personal freedom of the author to use material contained in the paper in other works.
Abbreviations, numbers, SI units The decimal point and not a comma should be used, eg. 6.89 not 6,89.
Measurements of length, height, volume, etc should be reported in metric units (metre, kilogram, litre) or their decimal multiples. Temperatures should be given in degrees Celsius. All other measurements including laboratory measurements should be reported in terms of the International System of Units (SI).
Authors should limit the use of abbreviations. Terms which are mentioned frequently may be abbreviated but only if this does not detract from reader comprehension. Abbreviations for SI units and statistical terms are those in Baron DN (ed.): Units, Symbols and Abbreviations: A Guide for Biological and Medical Editors and Authors, 5th Edn Royal Society of Medicine, London.
Reprints/Offprints Authors will receive fifty (50) offprints free of charge. Additional offprints are available when ordered in advance of publication, and an order form, with the scale of charges, will be sent with the proofs.
Manuscript submission on disk When supplying your article please include, where possible, a disk of your manuscript prepared on PC compatible or Apple Macintosh computers, along with the hard copy print-out.
Please follow these guidelines carefully:
Include an ASCII version on the disk, together with the word processed version, if possible.
Ensure that the files are not saved as read-only. Manuscripts prepared on disks must be accompanied by four hard copies, including all figures, printed with double spacing, and which may be used if setting from the disk proves impracticable. Ensure the final version of the hard copy and the file on disk are the same. It is the authors responsibility to ensure complete compatibility. If there are differences the hard copy will be used. The directives for preparing the paper in the style of the journal as set out in the Instructions to Authors must be followed: i.e. ensure the document is in the following order:
Title; Authors; Addresses; Abstract; Keywords; Introduction; Materials and Methods; Results; Discussion and Conclusions; Acknowledgements; References, Appendices; Figure legends; Tables; Footnotes; Abbreviations.
The operating system and the word processing software used to produce the article should be noted on the disk (i.e. DOS/WordPerfect), as well as all file names. If UNIX, method of extraction should also be noted. The disk/tape should be labelled with the journal reference number (if known), author name(s), hardware and software used to generate the disk file.
Do not include copyright material, e.g. word processing software or operating system files, on the disk because this can create difficulties with Customs clearance. Package floppy disks in such a way as to avoid damage in the post.
Additional points to note Use two carriage returns to end headings and paragraphs. Type text without end of line hyphenation, except for compound words. Do not use lower case letter 'l' (el) for '1' (one) or 'O' for '0' (They have different typesetting values.) Footnotes, tables and figure captions should be saved in a separate file from the main text of the manuscript. However, please ensure clear hard copies are supplied as they will almost certainly be typeset from the hard copy. Be consistent with punctuation and only insert a single space between words and after punctuation. Please include a list of any special characters you have had to use, e.g. Greek, maths.
Illustrations submitted on disk Authors illustrations should also, where possible, be supplied as both hard copy and electronic files. Figures drawn using Aldus Freehand (Apple Macintosh) and saved as Encapsulated PostScript files (EPS) are preferred and should be supplied on a separate disk.
