Welcome from the Chair

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to the 3rd International Electronic Conference on Microbiology (ECM 2025). ECM 2025 will showcase the latest research on microorganisms, covering a diverse range of topics, including the following:

S1. Gut Microbiota and Health Disease;
S2. Foodborne Pathogens and Food Safety;
S3. Antimicrobial Agents and Resistance;
S4. Emerging Infectious Diseases;
S5. Microbiome and Soil Science;
S6. Microbial Characterization and Bioprocess;
S7. Microbe–Plant Interactions.

Participation in ECM 2025 is free of charge for both authors and attendees. This conference provides an excellent platform for researchers to present their latest findings, engage in direct discussions, and participate in online Q&A sessions.
All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the conference committee. Upon acceptance, authors will be asked to contribute an extended abstract for the conference proceedings and a slide presentation of their work. Authors of the most outstanding contributions will be invited to submit a full manuscript for potential publication in Microorganisms.

I look forward to your participation in this exciting conference and encourage you to share your latest ideas and research in the field of microbiology.

Kind regards,
Dr. Nico Jehmlich

Registration


The registration for ECM 2025 will be free of charge! The registration includes attendance to all conference sessions.

If you are registering several people under the same registration, please do not use the same email address for each person, but their individual university email addresses. Thank you for your understanding.

Please note that the submission and registration are two separate parts. Only scholars who registered can receive a link to access the conference live streaming. The deadline for registration is 3rd March 2025.

Instructions for Authors

Abstract Submission
Abstract submissions should be completed online by registering with www.sciforum.net and using the "Submit Abstract" function once logged into the system. No physical template is necessary.

1. The abstract structure should include the introduction, methods, results, and conclusions sections of about 200–300 words in length.
2. All accepted abstracts will be published as one dedicated volume in Biology and Life Sciences Forumjournal (ISSN: 2673-9976) after quality check. If you wish to publish a full-length proceedings paper, please refer to the “Publication Opportunities” Section.
3. All abstracts should be submitted and presented in clear, publication-ready English with accurate grammar and spelling.
4. You may submit multiple abstracts. However, only one abstract will be selected for oral presentation.
5. The abstracts submitted to this conference must be original and novel, without prior publication in any journals or it will not be accepted to this conference.

Slides, if available, will be displayed directly on the website using the proprietary slide viewer at Sciforum.net. Slides can be prepared in exactly the same way as for any traditional conference where research results are presented. Slides should be converted to PDF format prior to submission so that they can be converted for online display.
Poster Presentation

Potential Conflicts of Interest

It is the author's responsibility to identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of clinical research. If there is no conflict, please state "The authors declare no conflicts of interest." This should be conveyed in a separate "Conflict of Interest" statement preceding the "Acknowledgments" and "References" sections at the end of the manuscript. Any financial support for the study must be fully disclosed in the "Acknowledgments" section.

Copyright

MDPI, the publisher of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting an abstract to this conference, you retain the copyright to the work, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this abstract online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your full paper (with the abstract) to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher if required.

Publication Opportunities

1. Microorganisms Journal Publication
Participants in this conference are cordially invited to contribute a full manuscript to the conference's Special Issue, published in Microorganisms (ISSN 2076-2607, Impact Factor 4.1), with a 20% discount on the publication fee. Details of the special issue will be announced here later. Please note if you have IOAP/association discounts, conference discounts will be combined with IOAP/association discounts. Conference discounts cannot be combined with reviewer vouchers. All submitted papers will undergo MDPI’s standard peer-review procedure. The abstracts should be cited and noted on the first page of the paper.
2. Proceeding Paper Publication
You are welcome to submit a proceeding paper (4-8 pages) to MDPI Biology and Life Sciences Forum (ISSN: 2673-9976) after the conference. Publication of the proceedings will be free of charge.
Authors are asked to disclose that it is a proceeding paper of the ECM 2025 conference paper in their cover letter. Carefully read the rules outlined in the 'Instructions for Authors' on the journal’s website and ensure that your submission adheres to these guidelines.
