Digital Learning Center for Microbial Ecology - Michigan State University website with extensive resources on microbes & the environments they live in, as well as links to other microbial ecology resources on the web. Includes the Microbe Zoo. Go

Bacteriophage Ecology Group - Possibly the only site dealing with bacteriophage virus ecology. The site includes a wealth of photos & drawings of these viruses as well as all you had ever need to know about them. Go

Microbial Ecology Working Group - Main areas are compost & soil microbiology, molecular ecology, microbial communities, anaerobic digestion, fertilizer development. Page includes list of projects & publications. Located at the University of Innsbruck. Go

LTER Microbial Observatories - Describes the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) programs concerned with microorganisms at a wide variety of sites around the world. Go

The Nüsslein Lab - On-going research on microbial ecology carried out by the Nusslein Lab, University of Massachusetts, USA. Go

Astrobiology Web - Microbes & other life forms in extreme environments. (Although the title of this site implies that it's about space, this is an excellent resource about microbial ecology in unusual environmental conditions here on Earth.) Go

IMPACT Project Home Page - Interactions between microbial inoculants & resident populations in the rhizosphere of agronomically important crops in typical soils. Go

Biodegradation Group - GBF AMICO project - About research on development of molecular & biochemical tools to retrieve information from environmental samples, microbial degradation of contaminants in BTEX, bacterial shifts & adaptation in changing conditions, & evolution of catabolic genes families for BTEX degradation. Go

International Society for Microbial Ecology (ISME) - Microbial Ecology for students, public, news media, & scientists. Also serves as the primary forum of discussion for ISME Society members. Go

The Center for Microbial Ecology (CME) - The intellectual focus of the Center for Microbial Ecology is to understand factors that influence the competitiveness, diversity & function of microorganisms in their natural & managed habitats. Go

BacSim: Individual-based model of microorganisms - BacSim is an Individual-based Model (IbM) of bacterial populations, such as colonies & biofilms. Online computer simulations give a feel for what the program does. So... Source code & animations are also available. Go
