Abstract

Welcome to this issue of Microbiology Australia, one that deals with the positive side of microbes and our interactions with them – from those that we utilise in biotechnology to those that have co-evolved with their hosts in a mutually beneficial way. Ipek Kurtböke and Ian Macreadie have brought together an exceptional group of contributors who have provided a broad and fascinating insight into these “good microbes”.
