The central purpose of Microbiome is to unite investigators conducting microbiome research in environmental, agricultural, and biomedical arenas.Topics broadly addressing the study of microbial communities, such as, microbial surveys, bioinformatics, meta-omics approaches and community/host interaction modeling will be considered for publication. Through this collection of literature Microbiome hopes to integrate researchers with common scientific objectives across a broad cross-section of sub-disciplines within microbial ecology.

微生物組的主要目的是聯合在環境、農業和生物醫學領域進行微生物組研究的研究人員。將考慮出版廣泛涉及微生物群落研究的主題，如微生物調查、生物信息學、元組學方法和群落/宿主相互作用模型。通過這些文獻的收集，Microbiome希望將微生物生態學中具有廣泛交叉子學科的共同科學目標的研究人員整合在一起。
