It focuses on Bacteriaand Archaea; eukaryotic microorganisms will only be considered in rare cases.The journal perceives a broad understanding of microbial diversity and encouragesthe submission of manuscripts from the following branches of microbiology:Systematics: Theoretical and practical issues dealing with classifi cation andtaxonomy, i.e. (i) new descriptions or revisions of prokaryotic taxa, includingdescriptions of not-yet cultured taxa in the category Candidatus (ii) innovativemethods for the determination of taxonomical and genealogical relationships, (iii)evaluation of intra-taxon diversity through multidisciplinary approaches, (iv)identifi cation methods.Applied Microbiology: all aspects of agricultural, industrial, and food microbiologyare welcome, including water and wastewater treatment.Comparative biochemistry and genomics: studies concerning biochemical/metabolic and genomic diversity of cultured as well as yet-uncultured Bacteriaand Archaea.Ecology: descriptions of the microbial diversity in natural and man-made ecosystem;studies quantifying the size, dynamics, and function of microbial populations;innovative research on the interaction of micro-organisms with each other andtheir biotic and abiotic environment.Executive Editors:Karl-Heinz Schleifer, MünchenRudolf Amann, BremenRamon Rosselló-Móra, EsporlesComplimentary access to articles published in issue 1of each volume via SciVerse ScienceDirectwww.sciencedirect.comPlease send subscription orders to:HGV Hanseatische Gesellschaft für Verlagsservice mbH AboserviceHolzwiesenstr. 272127 Kusterdingen, GermanyTel.: +49 - (0) 70 71 / 93 53 - 16Fax: +49 - (0) 70 71 / 93 53 - 35journals@elsevier.comCall for PapersYou are invited to submit your manuscripts online tohttp://ees.elsevier.com/syapm/Building Insights.
