Environmental Microbiology MiniReviews,

MiniReviews are concise summaries of key topics in a variety of fields, and are highly versatile:

• Useful for writing the introduction to a paper
• Helpful for adding context to your research
• Provide quick updates on particular topics or issues
• Resources for undergraduate or taught postgraduate courses

Explore the free collection of MiniReviews on Environmental Microbiology from FEMS Microbiology Ecology and FEMS Microbiology Letters. Topics covered include life strategy concepts, biocontrol and health trends, the paleosymbiosis hypothesis, and more.
