Aims and Scope

Originally founded as the Annales de l’Institut Pasteur, Research in Microbiology has been a leading source of up-to-date information in the
field of microbiology for more than a century. It publishes papers based on original research in fundamental and applied biology of bacteria,
archaea and lower eukaryotes. It covers all aspects of microbial taxonomy, phylogeny, ecology, physiology and metabolism, molecular genet-
ics and genomics, as well as interactions between microbes and interactions of microbes with their environment. Research in Microbiology
currently publishes 10 issues a year, including an annual Forum issue, and contains original articles, reviews and letters to the Editor.

Cover legend: The Nucleotide-Binding Domain of ABC systems: one fold to rule them all. In ABC systems, the well-conserved
ATPase dimeric domain (colored in green and red) fuels a wide diversity of biological functions that range from membrane transport to
various activities including translation, DNA repair, chromosome maintenance and segregation. From the top and clockwise, the MacB
macrolide exporter, the FolT ECF folate importer, the BhuTUV heme importer, the MalEFGK2 the maltose importer and TM287/288, a
putative drug exporter are represented on the inner membrane of an hypothetical microorganism. The structure of EttA in complex with
the ribosome is depicted into its cytosol.
