About

Although a number of exciting, Nobel Prize quality discoveries were made in evolutionary microbiology during the recent 10 years, there is no collection where all of them could be summarized in a good way. Giant viruses (giruses), virophages, nanobacteria, and their role in a living nature were reviewed previously, but there is no one collection where researchers who are not familiar with the field could find all relevant information in a clear and concise manner. So, Frontiers in Microbiology can be an ideal platform for such collection which definitely will become a milestone in microbiology. Many of top level experts in the field were included as potential contributors, therefore the review papers should be of perfect quality.
