Scientific Content Criteria & Requirements for The ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿Applied & Environmental Microbiology Meeting Abstracts

Please also review the ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿Microbe 2026 general abstract guidelines as well for a smooth abstract submission process.

  • The reason for the study or how the study came about (e.g. hypothesis, discovery or central question) should be clearly stated.
  • The objective and experimental design should be briefly detailed.
  • Data must be objectively gathered, analyzed and reported.  
  • Conclusion(s) or inferences should be made and supported by data. The study does not need to be fully complete, and preliminary results and conclusions are acceptable (the standard to present at ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿Microbe is not the same as to publish in a journal).
  • Abstracts describing biological data on an antimicrobial agent whose chemical structure has not been defined should be submitted to the ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿Health Meeting.
Scientific presentations at ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿Microbe 2026 will be expected to transparently report a study’s scientific rigor to ensure that the study is well-controlled and reproducible. Elements of scientific rigor should include, but are not limited to, the following: 
  • Experimental design.
  • Data collection and analysis.
  • Interpretation and inferences of the results.

Expand each focus area for full description.

Microbes and Climate
Explore how microbes are drivers of Earth’s resilience. See how microbial communities respond to and influence climate change, their roles in ecosystem resilience and how microbiome-based interventions can support climate adaptation and mitigation strategies.

Water Microbiomes
Develop innovation for global water security. Discover innovations in monitoring, engineering and harnessing water-associated microbial communities to address challenges in drinking water, wastewater, marine and freshwater systems, and the global approach to water security. 

Microbial Life on Land

Advance understanding of microbial interactions in natural and managed landscapes, with implications for soil restoration, land management and ecosystem sustainability in a changing environment.

Bioenergy and Beyond

Analyze cutting-edge research in microbial bioprocessing, metabolic engineering and synthetic biology aimed at developing sustainable energy sources and biotechnologies that reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Reach microbial solutions for a renewable future. 


Feeding the World

Apply microbial innovations in crop improvement, soil fertility, precision fermentation, sustainable livestock systems and food preservation—advancing solutions for global food security and nutrition.

 

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Chatbots or Large Language Models (LLMs)  

Please refere to our general guidelines on the use of AI, Chatbots and Large Language Models (LLMs).

Decisions of the program committee are final. Abstracts submitted under the ‘Oral or Poster’ presentation preference are not guaranteed an oral presentation assignment. Abstracts not selected for oral presentation will be assigned as posters.
