APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY (ISSN: 0099-2240)

Description

Applied and Environmental Microbiology (AEM) publishes study results that make significant contributions to applied microbial research, basic microbial ecology research, and genetic and molecular investigations of microbial topics of practical value. The journal sheds new light on key microbiological principles, fundamental microbial processes, and basic questions in applied and environmental microbiology. Its original research articles not only build on our understanding of microbiology but also enable scientists to advance their own investigations, design new products, and develop new processes.
