About WikiProject Microbiology

This Wikiproject aims to better organize information in articles related to microbiology on Wikipedia.

If you would like to help, feel free to add yourself to the list of participants, or have a look at How you can help section below. Also of interest is the Molecular and Cellular Biology Portal associated with this project. You don't need to know anything about microbiology to help!

Scope

This project aims to cover all areas of microbiology including: bacteria, archaea, molds, yeasts, protists, viruses, famous microbiologists and researchers, microbiological methods and concepts, microbiology equipment, microscopy, and other microbiology-related topics.
