The ISME Journal is a scientific publication focused on studying microbes and their roles in ecosystems. It covers research on bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms, exploring how they interact with each other and their environments—like soil, water, and the human body. The journal provides insights into microbial biodiversity, functions, and their impact on health, climate, and sustainability. Its goal is to advance understanding of microorganisms and their importance in the natural world, supporting scientists, researchers, and policymakers in addressing ecological and health-related challenges.
