Molecular Microbiology, the leading primary journal in microbial sciences, publishes research articles reporting the results of molecular studies of eukaryotic microorganisms and of prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) and their viruses. Studies that include genetic, biochemical, biophysical, bioinformatic and structural analysis leading to a deeper understanding of the molecular principals underlying basic physiological processes or mechanisms are considered as potentially suitable for publication in the journal. Topics considered appropriate include: * Gene expression and regulation * Pathogenicity and virulence * Physiology and metabolism * Synthesis of macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, polysaccharides, etc.) * Cell biology and subcellular organization * Membrane biogenesis and function * Traffic and transport * Cell-cell communication and signalling pathways * Evolution and gene transfer
