The Journal of Environmental Microbiology is an academic journal with open access and peer review that offers a forum for open discussion of the complex interactions between bacteria and their environment and their effects on life on earth. By disseminating scientific advances in this area, the publication serves as a link between environmental researchers, academics, and activists who promote the important results to the general public.
The journal's subject matter includes, but is not limited to, topics like Pollution microbiology, Population biology and clonal structure, Microbes and surfaces, Microbially-influenced global changes, Adhesion and biofouling, Microbial community genetics and evolutionary processes, Microbial Diversity, Host-Microbe Interaction, Aeromicrobiology, Soil microbiology, Element cycles and biogeochemical processes.
The journal not only supports environmental microbiology researchers and academics but also attracts practitioners and activists who engage closely with grassroots communities. The journal continues to publish the most recent research on topics like eco-technology, wastewater treatment, freshwater microbiology, marine microbiology, estuarine microbiology, the microbiology of extreme environment, and biodegradation with the primary goal of promoting sustainable environmental conservation and preservation practises.
The Journal of Environmental Microbiology uses a double-blind peer review procedure, in which neither the authors nor the reviewers are aware of one another's identities. For the purpose of authenticating the work of academics, scholars, and scientists, each article in the issue has at least one external reviewer. Members of the journal's editorial board process reviews for the journal, with help from the editorial office's preliminary review.
Microbes Structure
The structure and dynamics of microbial communities are influenced by a wide range of physical and biological factors present in both continental and aquatic habitats. In terms of diversity, biomass, and functional roles, microbes are essential elements of aquatic systems. Although extensively studied in lakes and marine environments, little is known about the richness and ecology of tiny and shallow freshwater ecosystems (between 0.001 and 0.1 km2), despite the fact that these ecosystems account for up to 99% of all lakes on Earth.
A novel understanding of the variety and functionality of intertidal purple sulphur bacterial mats was offered in coastal environments. Taxonomical and physiological biomarkers were used to analyse various forms of purple sulphur microbial mats (fatty acids, photosynthetic pigments, as well as rrs and pufM genes). Other ecological processes that have been measured include carbon fluxes and sediment surface adhesion (a proxy for sediment stability). In order to examine purple bacterial mats, a new technique based on spectrum reflectance was created. This method is a promising tool for the genuine integration of these systems on bigger scales. Purple sulphur bacteria (Chromatiaceae), which are excellent exopolymeric makers and predominate in microbial assemblages, suggest that their influence on the stability of intertidal sediments is significant.
Microbes Ecosystem
Coral reefs are among the most delicate marine ecosystems, and they have suffered severe declines over the past 30 years as a result of the combined effects of anthropogenic pressure and global warming. Coral bleaching and the rise of new pathologies, which now afflict coral reefs all over the world, are the first indicators of this deterioration. According to a recent hypothesis, these disorders could be the result of an abrupt structural change in the bacterial communities that live in the epibiotic environment as a result of environmental perturbations. The ecological processes that effectively replace these communities are not well understood, though. In the water column of the ocean, viruses are a key factor in the regulation of bacterial communities. They haven't yet been examined, but their presence and function within the coral holobiont may be crucial for coral health.
Carbonate Process
The process of carbonate biogenic dissolution, which is fueled by microboring organisms such as unicellular and filamentous cyanobacteria, algae, and fungi, is another important mechanism involved in maintaining coral reefs. The primary cause of this process, the bioeroding chlorophyte of the genus Ostreobium sp., appears to be the most environment-responsive microboring species. However, little is known about the recruitment period of ostreobium, its evolution along community successions, the impact of its dynamics on rates of biogenic dissolution, and how it interacts with the environment.
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION:
Each manuscript that is submitted is processed for an initial quality control check by the editorial office before going through the external peer review procedure. Preliminary quality control typically concludes in 7 days and focuses mostly on English, journal scope, and journal formatting.
