Scope
Food Microbiology focuses on a wide variety of current research on microbes that have both beneficial and deleterious effects on the safety and quality of foods, and are thus a concern of public health. Food Microbiology publishes significant basic and applied research in the following areas:- Food-borne microbes and their interactions with various foods and food chain environments including their adaptation and response mechanisms to food-processing and food-handling stresses.
- Industrial and biotechnological exploitation of microbial diversity and versatility for the improvement of quality, safety and healthy properties of processed foods.
- Microbiology of fermented foods.
- Evolutionary dynamics of food-borne pathogenic microbes and those of value to food processing and safety in their different ecological contexts.
- Genomics and functional genomics of pathogenic and value-adding technological microbes.
- Molecular methods for the identification, typing and characterization of food-associated microbes and complex microbial communities.
- Development of probiotics as food supplements and their effects on human health including effects on host gut microbiota.
- Predictive microbiology and its application to food and process optimization and risk assessment.
One ultimate goal is to facilitate and accelerate communication among food microbiologists and those active in pertinent other areas of the sciences, and stimulate new perspectives and innovation. Another very important goal is to contribute to a constructive dialog between scientists and the lay public on issues of food safety, food quality and healthy lifestyles.

Food Microbiology welcomes submissions of the following article types: Correction, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Food Microbiology, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Food Microbiology will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Microbiology and Nutrition.
