PLOS is a non-profit organization on a mission to drive open science forward with measurable, meaningful change in research publishing, policy, and practice.

Building on a strong legacy of pioneering innovation, PLOS continues to be a catalyst, reimagining models to meet open science principles, removing barriers and promoting inclusion in knowledge creation and sharing, and publishing research outputs that enable everyone to learn from, reuse and build upon scientific knowledge.

We believe in a better future where science is open to all, for all.

The Microbiome Across Biological Systems

Calls for Papers Collections

Microbiomes are complex communities of bacteria, fungi, archaea, viruses, and microscopic eukaryotic organisms that can inhabit diverse environments, from the human gut, to soil, to even the atmosphere. These communities can impact an equally wide range of processes, including human brain development, pathogen virulence, and ecosystem nutrient cycling. New technologies and methods for studying microbiomes—their composition, formation, and how they influence their surroundings—are constantly emerging and researchers are only just starting to untangle these complex interactions. PLOS ONE and PLOS Biology are excited to publish a shared Collection on the topic of microbiomes across biological systems.
