Molecular Microbiology

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.

《分子微生物学》是微生物科学领域领先的主要期刊，发表有关细菌、古细菌、真核微生物及其病毒的分子研究。

研究论文应能加深对基本生理过程或机制背后的分子原理的理解。合适的主题包括基因表达和调控、致病性和毒力、生理学和代谢、大分子合成（蛋白质、核酸、脂质、多糖等）、细胞生物学和亚细胞组织、膜生物合成和功能、交通和运输、细胞间通讯和信号通路、进化和基因转移。关注宿主对病原体的反应（细胞或免疫反应）或微生物生态学的文章应分别投稿至我们的姊妹期刊《细胞微生物学》和《环境微生物学》。

Molecular Microbiology创刊于1987年，由Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖生物 - 生化与分子生物学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度约2.0个月，影响因子指数3.1，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
