Isolation and Characterization of New Microbial Species and Strains

Dear Colleagues,

This collection is dedicated to the description of newly discovered microbial species and strains. This collection aims to showcase the latest advancements in the isolation, identification, and characterization of novel microorganisms from clinical or environmental samples. The articles featured in this collection will highlight the taxonomic, morphologic, genomic, physiological, and functional characterization of newly isolated microbial species, shedding light on their biotechnological potential, ecological significance, and other relevant aspects of the new taxa. It is expected that the results of the new taxa are not only reported but also discussed citing appropriate literature. In the process of naming newly identified prokaryotic taxa, it is imperative to adhere to the guidelines set forth in the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP).
