AMB Express is a peer-reviewed open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen. This high-quality journal brings together research in the expanding, innovative field of Industrial Microbiology. Its coverage includes processes employing microorganisms, eukaryotic cell cultures or enzymes for the biosynthesis, transformation and degradation of compounds including fine and bulk chemicals, polymeric compounds and enzymes or other proteins. The primary areas of focus are White Biotechnology which broadly includes biotech applications and processes used in industrial settings: and Red Biotechnology, covering pharmaceutical and medical uses of biotechnology.In addition to original research papers, the journal publishes short reviews which critically summarize and evaluate new developments, new processes, new products, features of production organisms or industrially relevant enzymes.

The African Journal of Biotechnology (AJB), a new broad-based journal, is an open access journal that was founded on two key tenets: To publish the most exciting research in all areas of applied biochemistry, industrial microbiology, molecular biology, genomics and proteomics, food and agricultural technologies, and metabolic engineering. Secondly, to provide the most rapid turn-around time possible for reviewing and publishing, and to disseminate the articles freely for teaching and reference purposes. All articles published in AJB are peer-reviewed.
This journal is devoted to publishing the highest quality innovative papers in the fields of biochemistry and biotechnology. The typical focus of the journal is to report applications of novel scientific and technological breakthroughs, as well as technological subjects that are still in the proof-of-concept stage. Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology provides a forum for case studies and practical concepts of biotechnology, utilization, including controls, statistical data analysis, problem descriptions unique to a particular application, and bioprocess economic analyses. The journal publishes reviews deemed of interest to readers, as well as book reviews, meeting and symposia notices, and news items relating to biotechnology in both the industrial and academic communities. In addition, Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology often publishes lists of patents and publications of special interest to readers.
