Microbiology Australia

Microbiology Australia, the journal of the Australian Society for Microbiology is produced online and in print four times a year. The journal contains scientific papers, technical notes, book reviews, conference information, data on new products and services in microbiology, and material for tertiary students, in addition to providing detail on ASM activities. Microbiology Australia comprises mostly thematic issues focused on the areas of greatest importance to microbiology. Themes are determined by the Editorial Board and Guest Editor(s), with the exception of a biennial issue that features Breaking Research of ASM's Early Career Researchers.

Microbiology Australia is published by CSIRO Publishing.
