Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microorganisms play a crucial role in biogeochemical cycles, participate in interactions with other organisms, and maintain ecosystem functions and health. All these aspects present a challenge for investigating the already known microbial species or simply for enriching the information on microbial diversity in a wide range of environments. There are many methods for identifying microbial diversity such as culturable, molecular, physiological, or morphological. Despite this fact, the true microbiological diversity is still unknown to a larger extent and it is supposed that the real number of microbial species is much larger and there are a lot of species to be identified.
This Special Issue of Microorganisms focuses on publishing articles related to microbial diversity in different environments, methods for identifying microbes, and their role in ecosystem structure and function. As the Guest Editor, I invite you to submit research articles on microbial diversity in various environments and the role of microorganisms in ecosystem structure and function.
Dr. Silvena B. Boteva
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
