Microbial Genetics (journal)

Microbial genetics is the study of how microorganisms like bacteria and viruses inherit and pass on their genetic information. It explores how genes are structured, duplicated, and transferred within these tiny organisms, influencing their behavior, resistance to antibiotics, and ability to adapt to environments. Understanding microbial genetics helps scientists develop better medicines, vaccines, and strategies to control infectious diseases, as well as improve biotechnology applications such as genetic engineering and industrial processes. It’s a crucial field for advancing our knowledge of microorganisms' roles in health, ecology, and industry.
