COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
It is important to have such a diverse group of scientists studying microbes because of their importance to society and the services they provide ranging from pharmaceutical production to carbon cycling. PLOS ONE is an open access journal that represents all scientific disciplines, making it an ideal home for multidiscplinary microbiology research to reach broad audiences.
