International Society for Microbial Ecology (ISME)

The International Society for Microbial Ecology (ISME) is a global organization dedicated to studying microorganisms and their roles in Earth's ecosystems. Microbial ecology explores how tiny organisms like bacteria, fungi, and viruses interact with each other and their environments, influencing health, agriculture, and climate. ISME promotes research, collaboration, and knowledge sharing among scientists to better understand these microorganisms' functions and impacts. Through conferences, publications, and initiatives, ISME helps advance science and supports sustainable solutions related to microbes' vital roles in natural and human-made systems.
