mBio™ is ASM’s first broad-scope, online-only, open access journal. mBio™ offers rapid review and publication of the best research in microbiology and allied fields. The scope of mBio reflects the enormity of the microbial world, a highly interconnected biosphere where microbes interact with living and nonliving matter to produce outcomes that range from symbiosis to pathogenesis, energy acquisition and conversion, climate change, geologic change, food and drug production, and even animal behavioral change.
