About the Journal

Focus and Scope
Journal of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Biotechnology (JOBIMB) (e-ISSN 2289-5779) publishes research papers, short communications, mini reviews, and review articles. 

JOBIMB specifically welcomes original contributions that:

-Explore the underlying biochemical and microbial processes for sustainable development, including waste valorization, bioresource utilization, and green technologies.
-Investigate the microbiome of tropical and subtropical (soil, aquatic, plant-associated, or human/animal), which is relevant to health, agriculture, and the environment.
-Advance innovations in biotechnology that are tailored to developing regions (ASEAN, Global South), with scopes that cover affordable bioprocesses, low-cost bioremediation, and indigenous bioresources.

-Apply the field of omics technology, molecular biology, and bioinformatics approaches to understand mechanisms underlying microbial function, metabolic engineering, and applied biochemistry.

-Translate the discoveries of fundamental works into practical biotechnological applications in food, agriculture, aquaculture, environmental protection, and industrial bioprocessing.
