Microbiology Indonesia (MI), originally known as Jurnal Mikrobiologi Indonesia, is the official journal published by the Indonesian Society for Microbiology (Perhimpunan Mikrobiologi Indonesia, PERMI). Since 1990 the journal was initially published individual manuscript either written in Indonesian with English abstract, or whole text in English. With increasing high quality manuscripts submitted; especially in tropical microbiology work, and the applications of molecular biology as a powerful tool to explore Indonesian microbial diversity; MI would be an excellent bridge connecting the Indonesian and International microbiologists. MI should not only make Indonesian research on microbiology known internationally, but also could attract international microbiologists to share their research experience and encourage more Indonesian scientists to submit their manuscripts to MI. In addition, MI is also supported by a number of internationally recognized editors and reviewers to ensure high quality of publication. Therefore, starting from this edition, MI will publish all of the manuscripts in English, and become the the first Indonesian biological science journals to go international.
