Systematic and Applied Microbiology是一份同行评审的双月刊学术期刊，由爱思唯尔出版。Systematic and Applied Microbiology is a peer-reviewed bimonthly academic journal published by Elsevier.
该期刊涵盖原核生物系统学、分类学以及微生物多样性等广泛研究领域。The journal covers broad areas of research on prokaryotic systematics, taxonomy, and microbial diversity.
该期刊主要关注细菌和古菌的多样性及系统发育，极少收录真核微生物相关的研究。The journal focuses primarily on the diversity and phylogeny of Bacteria and Archaea, considering eukaryotic microorganisms only in rare cases.
其核心发表范畴包括分类学理论与实践、原核生物新分类单元的描述与修订，以及基于基因组或宏基因组数据的新分类单元提议。Its core scope encompasses taxonomic theory and practice, descriptions and revisions of prokaryotic taxa, and proposals for new taxa based on genomic or metagenomic data.
此外，该期刊还接收结合多元方法探讨特定微生物类群功能与多样性的应用微生物学、比较基因组学以及微生物生态学研究。In addition, the journal welcomes studies in applied microbiology, comparative genomics, and microbial ecology that combine polyphasic approaches to explore the functions and diversity of specific microbial clades.
该刊创刊历史可追溯至1980年创刊的《细菌学、微生物学与卫生学中心学报》（Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene）的C系列特辑。The history of the journal traces back to the C series of Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene, established in 1980.
1983年，该期刊正式更名为现在的名称《Systematic and Applied Microbiology》。In 1983, the journal was formally renamed to its current title, Systematic and Applied Microbiology.
随着分子生物学与全基因组测序技术的发展，该刊在原核生物分类学由表型特征向分子系统发生及系统基因组学过渡的过程中起到了关键的推动作用。With advances in molecular biology and whole-genome sequencing, the journal has played a key role in transitioning prokaryotic taxonomy from phenotypic traits to molecular phylogeny and phylogenomics.
该期刊编辑部长期由微生物分类学及分子生态学领域的资深科学家主持工作。The editorial board of the journal has long been led by prominent scientists in the fields of microbial taxonomy and molecular ecology.
德国微生物学家卡尔-海因茨·施莱弗（Karl-Heinz Schleifer）曾长期担任主编并主导其学术发展。German microbiologist Karl-Heinz Schleifer served for many years as the Editor-in-Chief, guiding its academic trajectory.
当前期刊由鲁道夫·阿曼（Rudolf Amann）和拉蒙·罗塞略-莫拉（Ramon Rosselló-Móra）等学者担任核心主编职务。Currently, scholars including Rudolf Amann and Ramon Rosselló-Móra serve in executive editorial capacities for the journal.
