New Content Item One's trash is someone else's treasure
Sequence read archives from Lepidoptera genomes provide material for genome reconstruction of their endosymbionts highlighting how public databases can be used to explore the hidden diversity of symbiotic entities.

New Content Item Soil microbes and fruit color
Soil bacterial and fungal compositions in rhizospheres between red- and yellow-fruited tomato varieties were found to be significantly different despite growing in the same environment conditions, this study finds.

Microgravity, apoptosis and beneficial microbes
Modeled microgravity-associated increases in apoptotic signalling has been studied in relationship between the bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes, and the gram-negative bacterium, Vibrio fischeri, highlighting implications for maintaining animal-microbial homeostasis in spaceflight.

Aims and scope

BMC Microbiology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all microorganisms - bacteria, archaea, algae and fungi, viruses, unicellular parasites and helminths. It considers studies on all aspects of the biology and biochemistry of microorganisms including but not limited to cell biology, genomics, signalling, the interaction of the microbes with the environment and host, mechanistic and functional insights into infection and disease, and biotechnological application in science and industry.

Get credit for your data!

Valuable data often go unpublished when they could be helping to progress science. Hence, the BMC Series introduced Data notes, a short article type allowing you to describe your data and publish them to make your data easier to find, cite and share.

You can publish your data in BMC Genomic Data (genomic, transcriptomic and high-throughput genotype data) or in BMC Research Notes (data from across all natural and clinical sciences).

More information about our unique article type can be found on the BMC Genomic Data and BMC Research Notes journal websites.

Open data badge Pilot

BMC Microbiology participated in a pilot project in which all accepted papers are evaluated for eligibility to receive an Open data badge.
