About the journal
Interest in molecular microbiology is gaining new impetus from the relative ease and rapidity with which such small genomes can be entirely sequenced. This development is beginning to have significant impact on all areas of prokaryote biology, from pathogens to extremophiles, and will fuel new developments, for example, in drugs, vaccines and industrial enzyme research.
Trends in Microbiology provides a multidisciplinary forum for the discussion of all aspects of microbiology: from cell biology and immunology to genetics and evolution, and ranges across virology, bacteriology, protozoology and mycology.
The contents includes a lively mix of commentary, correspondence and review. Reviews are commissioned and peer reviewed and, consequently, make an authoritative basis for teaching and keeping abreast of developments across the field.
The focus is on molecular microbiology and virology, and includes topics such as genomics, the gamut of plant and animal host-pathogen interactions, host immune responses, characterization and evolution of virulence determinants, cell cycle and differentiation, symbiosis in plant and animal associations, environmental microbiology, biodiversity and evolution, population dynamics, sex and mutagenesis, antibiotic resistance and production, drug and vaccine targets, as well as aspects of prion diseases and of fungal and protozoan biology.
Instructions to Authors
Trends in Microbiology is a journal of news, reviews and comment on the latest advances in research on the interactions of viruses, bacteria and fungi with their plant and animal hosts. It is not a vehicle for the publication of primary data.
Articles for Trends in Microbiology are usually commissioned by the Editor, but proposals for articles are welcome, especially for the Research Update and the Forum section. Prospective authors should send a brief summary, citing key references, to the Editor, who will supply guidelines on manuscript preparation if the proposal is accepted. The submission of completed manuscripts without prior consultation with the Editor is strongly discouraged. Authors should note that all major articles in Trends in Microbiology are peer-reviewed and publication cannot be guaranteed.
Reviews and Opinion articles form the foundation of each monthly issue. Reviews are invited from leading researchers in a specific field and objectively chronicle recent and important developments. Opinion articles provide a forum for debate and hypothesis.
The Research Update section includes short articles highlighting topical issues and recent research papers of particular note, as well as articles reporting on recent meetings.
The News and Comment section is written by a team of regular contributors, and provides concise digests of a selection of papers from the primary literature and brief headlines on a wide range of hot topics in microbiology.
Trends in Microbiology welcomes correspondence. Letters may address topics raised in recent issues of the journal, or other matters of general interest to microbiologists.The decision to publish rests with the Editor, and the author(s) of any article discussed in a Letter will normally be invited to reply.
For any queries regarding proposal or article submission, please contact the Editor at:
