Microbial Ecology

We are excited to announce that Microbial Ecology has now become a fully open-access (OA) journal as of January 2024. This means that we will only be publishing articles as Open Access meaning content will be freely available to readers worldwide, enabling the widest possible dissemination and reuse. 

In this Special Issue, we explore recent significant advancements in the human microbiome space, including looking at novel diseases, understudied populations of people, as well as the small molecules and other signatures produced by the microbes that inhabit the human body.

This Special Issue in Microbial Ecology is dedicated to the interactions of humans, animals and plants, their microbial ecology and how they interact in their shared environments to enable One Health.
