Journal Title：Molecular Microbiology

Molecular Microbiology, the leading primary journal in the microbial sciences, publishes molecular studies of Bacteria, Archaea, eukaryotic microorganisms, and their viruses.

Research papers should lead to a deeper understanding of the molecular principles underlying basic physiological processes or mechanisms. Appropriate topics include gene expression and regulation, pathogenicity and virulence, physiology and metabolism, synthesis of macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, polysaccharides, etc), cell biology and subcellular organization, membrane biogenesis and function, traffic and transport, cell-cell communication and signalling pathways, evolution and gene transfer. Articles focused on host responses (cellular or immunological) to pathogens or on microbial ecology should be directed to our sister journals Cellular Microbiology and Environmental Microbiology, respectively.

Molecular Microbiology 是微生物科学领域的主要主要期刊，发表关于细菌、古生菌、真核微生物及其病毒的分子研究。

研究论文应该导致对基本生理过程或机制的分子原理有更深入的了解。适当的主题包括基因表达和调控、致病性和毒力、生理学和代谢、大分子（蛋白质、核酸、脂质、多糖等）的合成、细胞生物学和亚细胞组织、膜生物发生和功能、交通和运输、细胞-细胞通讯和信号通路、进化和基因转移。关注宿主对病原体的反应（细胞或免疫）或微生物生态学的文章应分别转至我们的姊妹期刊 Cellular Microbiology 和 Environmental Microbiology。
