Microbial ecology (or environmental microbiology) is the ecology of microorganisms: their relationship with one another and with their environment. It concerns the three major domains of life— Eukaryota , Archaea , and Bacteria —as well as viruses . [ 2 ]
Microecology means microbial ecology or ecology of a microhabitat. It is a large field that includes many topics such as: evolution, biodiversity, exobiology, ecology, bioremediation, recycling, and food microbiology. [1] It can also refer to a hybrid urban network at the scale of the neighbourhood. [2]
It is an official publication of the International Society for Microbial Ecology (ISME) and publishes original research articles, reviews, and commentaries. The founding editors-in-chief are Mark Bailey and George Kowalchuk. The journal is published on behalf of ISME by the Nature Publishing Group. [citation needed]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology is one of the seven FEMS, peer-reviewed scientific journals, which covers all aspects of microbial ecology. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2023 impact factor of 3.5. [1] The editor-in-chief is Max Häggblom. [citation needed]
The International Society for Microbial Ecology (ISME) is the principal scientific society for the burgeoning field of microbial ecology and its related disciplines. ISME is a non-profit association and is owner of the International Symposia on Microbial Ecology and also owner of The ISME Journal which is published by Springer Nature (impact factor 2016 9.6 - Reuters Thomson).
Microbial population biology, in practice, is the application of population ecology and population genetics toward understanding the ecology and evolution of bacteria, archaebacteria, microscopic fungi (such as yeasts), additional microscopic eukaryotes (e.g., "protozoa" and algae), and viruses.
Microbial physiology: the study of how the microbial cell functions biochemically. Includes the study of microbial growth, microbial metabolism and microbial cell structure; Microbial pathogenesis: the study of pathogens which happen to be microbes; Microbial ecology: the relationship between microorganisms and their environment
The microbial food web refers to the combined trophic interactions among microbes in aquatic environments. These microbes include viruses, bacteria, algae, heterotrophic protists (such as ciliates and flagellates). [1] In aquatic ecosystems, microbial food webs are essential because they form the basis for the cycling of nutrients and energy.
