TYPES OF CONTRIBUTION |
|
Original research papers (Papers) Review articles Short Communications Book Reviews
Papers should be complete in themselves and supported by experimental details. The authors must guarantee that submitted manuscripts have not been published previously nor submitted for publication elsewhere. Review articles should cover subjects falling within the scope of the journal which are of active current interest. A Short Communication is a concise report of important findings that merit rapid publication. Book Reviews will be included in the journal on a range of relevant recent books. |

ABBREVIATIONS AND UNITS |
|
The international system of units (SI) should be used. Use the term % in its correct sense otherwise the term vol/vol or wt/vol must be used. If a non-standard abbreviation is to be used extensively, it should be defined in full in the text. |
|
|

NOMENCLATURE |
|
Latin names must be written in italics. Microorganisms, including the indication of their collection number, should be designated according to the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names (American Society for Microbiology, 1989) and the validation lists and articles published in the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology since 1989. The approved terminology for yeast may be found in: The Yeasts, A Taxonomic Study (Kurtzman C.P. and Fell J.W., eds, Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 1998). The first time that the microorganism¡¯s name is used in the text the genus and the species should be written in full; subsequently, the genus may be abbreviated to its capitalized initial letter if the context makes the meaning clear. If the are several generic names in the text with the same initial letter, the names should be written in full at each occurrence. For enzymes, use the name assigned by IUB Nomenclature Committee as described in Enzyme Nomenclature (Academic Press, Inc., New York, N.Y., 1992). |
