Publisher: Spanish Society for Microbiology

International Microbiology is the new journal of the Spanish Society for 
Microbiology (SEM). It publishes original research papers, short 
communications, critical reviews and opinion letters dealing with all 
fields of microbiology and it addresses the international scientific 
community.

The special fields covered are microorganisms (eukaryotes: protoctists, 
moulds, yeast; prokaryotes: bacteria, cyanobacteria, archaea; viruses, 
prions), microbial biology (physiology, ecology, morphology, taxonomy, 
genetics, pathogenesis) and microbial applications (environmental, soil, 
industrial, food, medical microbiology, biodeterioration, 
bioremediation, biotechnology). Papers related to microbial science on a 
worldwide basis are also considered.

Special emphasis is given to issues that go beyond the traditional 
boundaries of a microbiology journal: the state-of-the art of 
microbiology in different parts of the world, the research activities 
and interests of outstanding microbiologists, the role of microbiology 
in society and education, new findings from the frontiers of current 
research, etc. Critical reviews of new books on microbial science are 
also welcome. International Microbiology offers high-quality, 
internationally based information, short publication times and complete 
copy editing.

The Spanish Society for Microbiology (SEM) was founded in 1946 to gather 
scientists interested in the development of this discipline both in the 
basic and applied fields. Microbiología Española —the initial journal of 
the SEM — was created in 1947 with the objective of publishing the 
scientific works presented at the meetings of the SEM. In 1985 a new 
journal, Microbiología SEM, was started with a wider scope and an 
international orientation. In 1998, International Microbiology 
thoroughly revised the aims and scope of that publication, thereby 
improving its quality to meet international standards.
