AMB Express is an open access journal of applied and industrial microbiology that Springer has published since 2011, and it concentrates on White Biotechnology and Red Biotechnology with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 3.9AMB Express 是 Springer 自 2011 年起出版的应用与工业微生物学开放获取期刊，聚焦白色生物技术与红色生物技术，2025 年影响因子为 3.9。

Scope

• The journal brings together research in applied and industrial microbiology with a particular interest in White Biotechnology and Red Biotechnology, and the emphasis falls on processes that use microorganisms, eukaryotic cell cultures or enzymes for the biosynthesis, transformation and degradation of compounds该刊汇集应用与工业微生物学方面的研究，特别关注白色生物技术与红色生物技术，重心落在以微生物、真核细胞培养物或酶进行化合物生物合成、转化与降解的工艺上。

• The products covered extend from fine and bulk chemicals to polymeric compounds, enzymes and other proteins, and downstream processing is considered as well as the biotechnological steps themselves所涉产品从精细化学品、大宗化学品一直排到聚合物、酶与其他蛋白，下游处理环节与生物技术工序本身同样在考虑之列。

• Integrated processes that combine biochemical and chemical steps are published, and reports on new procedures or tools used in a clinical setting are admitted only where microorganisms, viruses, enzymes, proteins of microbial origin or microbial metabolites form the crucial and central part of the new procedure or tool生化与化工步骤相结合的集成工艺同样会刊登，而涉及临床场景中新方法或新工具的报道，只有当微生物、病毒、酶、微生物来源的蛋白或微生物代谢产物构成该方法或工具的关键与核心部分时才予接受。

• The journal publishes original research papers and short reviews on new developments, processes and products, and its editorial team marks one article each month as a Featured Article该刊发表关于新进展、新工艺与新产品的原创研究论文与简短综述，编辑团队每月会从已刊论文中选出一篇标为「Featured Article」。

• Calls for papers are issued as themed collections, among them one on biocatalyst engineering for industrial, environmental and biomedical biotechnology and another on quorum sensing in microbial biotechnology该刊以主题专辑形式发出征稿邀请，其中包括面向工业、环境与生物医学生物技术的生物催化剂工程专辑，以及微生物生物技术中的群体感应专辑。

• Open access policy ensures maximum visibility of articles, and the journal gives no article processing charge, with all of its content free to read and reuse该刊的开放获取政策以最大化论文可见度为目标，不收取文章处理费，全部内容均可自由阅读与再利用。

• Its electronic ISSN is 2191-0855 and it has no print edition, and the catalog notes that articles are added irregularly during the year and collected into annual issues该刊电子 ISSN 为 2191-0855，不出印刷版，目录同时注明文章在一年之内不定期加入，汇成年度刊期。

• The journal has moved with the SpringerOpen portfolio onto Springer Nature Link, where its overview, aims and scope, editorial board, editorial policies and contact pages all sit该刊随 SpringerOpen 期刊组合迁入 Springer Nature Link，其概览、办刊宗旨与范围、编委、编辑政策与联系方式等页面都设在其中。

• It is indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus, PubMed Central, Embase, BIOSIS, CAB Abstracts, Reaxys, DOAJ, CNKI and a long list of other services, among them the Chinese Academy of Sciences GoOA and the Chinese Academy of Medical Science该刊被 Science Citation Index Expanded、Scopus、PubMed Central、Embase、BIOSIS、CAB Abstracts、Reaxys、DOAJ、CNKI 等众多检索服务收录，其中包括中国科学院 GoOA 与中国医学科学院。

• The impact factor history shows 3.9 for 2025 after 3.7 in 2024, with 3.5 in 2023, 4.126 in 2022 and 3.298 in 2021影响因子方面，2025 年为 3.9，2024 年 3.7，2023 年 3.5，2022 年 4.126，2021 年 3.298。
