Articles may stress the nature of specific geologically important microorganisms and their activities, or the environmental and geological consequences of geomicrobiological activity.
The Journal covers an array of topics such as:
- microbial weathering;
- microbial roles in the formation and degradation of specific minerals;
- mineralization of organic matter;
- petroleum microbiology;
- subsurface microbiology;
- biofilm form and function, and other interfacial phenomena of geological importance;
- biogeochemical cycling of elements;
- isotopic fractionation;
- paleomicrobiology.
Applied topics such as bioleaching microbiology, geomicrobiological prospecting, and groundwater pollution microbiology are addressed. New methods and techniques applied in geomicrobiological studies are also considered.
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
Microbiologists, geologists, ecologists, biogeochemists, soil scientists, limnologists, biological and chemical oceanographers, mineralogists, hydrometallurgists, groundwater specialists, and biotechnologists benefit from research published in Geomicrobiology Journal.
