About the journal

Biotechnological Journal of Environmental Microorganisms (BJEM) is a peer-reviewed journal, that publishes high-quality original research, reviews, mini-reviews, and short communications articles covering all aspects regarding biotechnological applications of microorganisms in different environments such as air, soil, and water. Topics include important environmental microorganisms in green, white, and blue biotechnology disciplines. Studies on the isolation and characterization of any novel microbial strains from various local geographical areas with potential biotechnological application in bioremediation or biodegradation of pollutants in different environments are welcome. The structure and function of enzymes and proteins or biosynthesis of fungal, algal, and bacterial metabolites and toxins of importance to the environment are considered. In addition, topics related to microbial weathering, organic matter mineralization, petroleum microbiology, subsurface microbiology, biofilm form and function, other interfacial phenomena, biogeochemical cycling of elements, and paleomicrobiology can be considered. Metagenomics studies and bioinformatics progress related to microbial communities in different environments are covered. Also, ethical aspects in biotechnology disciplines are welcome. 

Biotechnological Journal of Environmental Microorganisms (BJEM) has a (B) rating in the evaluation of scientific publications of Islamic Azad University (IAU).
