BacSim - Model developed to simulate the growth and behavior of bacterial populations such as colonies and biofilms. Online computer simulations give a feel for what the program does. Source code and animations are also available.

Bacteriophage Ecology Group - Possibly the only site dealing with bacteriophage virus ecology. Includes a wealth of photos and drawings of these viruses as well as all you'd ever need to know about them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Microbial Ecology - Information from Wikipedia on the relationship of microorganisms with one another and with their environment.

Microbial Ecology Group - Research documents, publications, programs, projects, staff. Technische Universitaet Muenchen, Germany.

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

Microbial Life: Educational Resources - Provides educational material on microbial life in extreme environments, in marine environments, microbial observatories and research methods.

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