《细菌学杂志》（Journal of Bacteriology）是一份经同行评审的科学期刊，由美国微生物学会出版。The Journal of Bacteriology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Society for Microbiology.
该期刊创刊于1916年，是微生物学领域历史最为悠久的专业期刊之一。Established in 1916, the journal is one of the oldest specialized periodicals in the field of microbiology.
它主要刊载关于细菌、古菌以及相关微生物的基础生物学与分子机制研究。It primarily publishes fundamental research on the biology and molecular mechanisms of bacteria, archaea, and related microorganisms.
《细菌学杂志》专注于报道低等生物的基础性研究成果。The Journal of Bacteriology focuses on reporting fundamental findings in lower organisms.
其报道范围涵盖微生物的基因表达调控、遗传学、生理生化以及新陈代谢过程。Its scope encompasses gene regulation, genetics, physiology, biochemistry, and metabolic processes of microorganisms.
期刊同时收录关于细菌与古菌细胞结构、细胞分裂、运动性以及趋化性的前沿论文。The journal also features cutting-edge papers on cellular architecture, cell division, motility, and chemotaxis in bacteria and archaea.
此外，该刊重点关注宿主与微生物之间的分子水平相互作用，以及微生态群落与信号转导网络。Additionally, it highlights molecular-level interactions between hosts and microbes, as well as microbial communities and signal transduction networks.
《细菌学杂志》于1916年由美国细菌学家协会创刊，首任主编为查尔斯-爱德华·埃默里·温斯洛。The Journal of Bacteriology was established in 1916 by the Society of American Bacteriologists, with Charles-Edward Amory Winslow serving as its inaugural editor-in-chief.
早期的刊卷记录了现代细菌分类学、培养基配方以及基础血清学的发展历程。Early volumes documented the emergence of modern bacterial taxonomy, media formulations, and basic serology.
随着分子生物学的兴起，该刊在20世纪中叶成为发表细菌遗传机制及基因组结构发现的核心阵地。With the rise of molecular biology, the journal became a primary forum in the mid-20th century for groundbreaking discoveries in bacterial genetics and genome organization.
该学会后来更名为美国微生物学会，而期刊始终保持着每月或半月刊的高频学术出版节奏。The society subsequently evolved into the American Society for Microbiology, and the journal maintained a rigorous semi-monthly and monthly publishing cadence.
《细菌学杂志》由来自细菌生理学与分子遗传学领域的知名学者担任主编与学术编辑。The Journal of Bacteriology is guided by an Editor-in-Chief and an editorial board of prominent scholars in bacterial physiology and molecular genetics.
公共卫生先驱查尔斯-爱德华·埃默里·温斯洛自1916年至1944年长期执掌该刊编政。Public health pioneer Charles-Edward Amory Winslow served as editor-in-chief for an extensive tenure from 1916 to 1944.
在其后的发展史中，细菌生理学家塞缪尔·S·巴克与分子遗传学家托马斯·J·西尔哈维等学界领袖均曾出任主编。In subsequent decades, leaders in the field such as bacterial physiologist Samuel S. Barker and molecular geneticist Thomas J. Silhavy directed editorial operations.
现任主编为德克萨斯大学健康科学中心休斯敦分校的分子生物学教授乔治·M·温斯托克。The current Editor-in-Chief is George M. Weinstock, a molecular biology professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
学术编辑团队协同负责稿件的同行评审流程，以确保刊载实验的高重复性与科学严谨性。The team of academic editors oversees the peer-review process to ensure technical reproducibility and scientific rigor across all published works.
