Chinese Journal of Biotechnology is the official journal of the Institute of Microbiology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and
the Chinese Society for Microbiology. The Journal publishes reports of new findings, techniques and developments in all aspects of biotechnology,
such as genetic engineering, cell engineering, enzyme engineering, biochemical engineering, tissue engineering, biochips, bioinformatics
and bioreactor and so on, provided that in each case the material is directly relevant to biotechnological systems. Reviews, original
papers, This online English edition provides the ten best quality articles selected from each issue of the Chinese-language edition translated
into English. It is the aim of the online English edition to overcome the deficiencies of the Chinese-language edition in terms of immediateness
and accessibility for English-speaking readers not familiar with Chinese.
Chinese Journal of Biotechnology is a Chinese
leading journal in biotechnology. The journal is indexed/abstracted in the searching systems of Chemistry Abstracts, MEDLINE/PubMed,
AJ of Viniti, Center for Agriculture and Bioscience International, Chinese Biological Digest, Chinese Scientific Quotation Database (Web
and CD), Wanfang Database, Chinese Science and Technological Periodical (CD).
Submission of manuscripts
Electronic submission
by E-mail (the editorial office E-mail: cjb@im.ac.cn) is preferred. Receipt of submission will be acknowledged within
a week. It is imperative that the corresponding author should give E-mail address, telephone and fax numbers.
The manuscript should
be accompanied by (1) a cover letter stating that the manuscript has not been and will not be considered for publication elsewhere; (2)
a declaration stating that all the authors agreed to submit the manuscript to Chinese Journal of Biotechnology with the signature of
the corresponding author (E-mail or Fax to the editorial office, Fax: +86 (0) 10 6255 4303); (3) an agreement to transfer the copyright
from the author to the Publisher.
Format of papers Title
Titles can occupy no more than three lines of type.
The title should convey a brief declarative statement of the major findings of the research.
Authors/Affiliations
Author
names should be spelled out in full rather than set in initials. Affiliations should contain the following core information: department(s)/subunit(s);
institution; city, state/region, postal code; country.
Additional Footnotes
The correspondence line should include the
E-mail address and phone/fax numbers of the corresponding author. One corresponding author is preferred, but two is allowed. Footnotes
are only allowed on page 1 of the text (or in tables). They may include a present address or statement of equal contribution to the manuscript.
Abstract
The abstract should briefly (no more than 200 words) describe in complete sentences the scope of the investigation,
the results obtained and the major conclusions. 3-7 keywords should be given after the abstract. References should not be cited in the
abstract.
Introduction
The introduction should be succinct with no subheadings.
Materials and Methods
The
materials and methods should be described clearly to permit a qualified reader to repeat the experiments reported.
Results and
Discussion
These sections may each be divided by subheadings or may be combined. The results should present the experimental
data in tables and figures with suitable descriptions. The discussion should focus on the interpretation and significance of the findings
with concise objective comments. Gene symbols should be italicized; protein products of the loci are not italicized. Nonstandard abbreviations
should be defined when first used in the text.
References
References should be listed alphabetically to the most extent,
in the same way as the following examples: For a book: T. Cover, J. Thomas, Elements for Information Theory, Wiley,
New York, 1991. For a paper in a journal: L. A. Zadeh, Towards a generalized theory of uncertainty (GTU) - an outline,
Information Sciences, 172 (2005), 1-40. For a paper in a contributed volume: A. J. Keene, A brief comparison of some
evolutionary optimization methods, in: V. Rayward-Smith, I. Osman, C. Reeves, G. D. Smith (Eds.), Modern Heuristic Search Methods, Wiley,

mining: effect of fuzzy discretization, in: Proc. 1st IEEE International Conference on Data Mining, San Jose, CA, 2001, pp. 241-248. For an unpublished paper: M. Kryszkiewicz, Knowledge reduction in information systems, Acta Mathematica Scientia, in
press.
Figures
Figures and images should be labeled sequentially, numbered and cited in the text. Figures should be referred
to specifically in the text of the paper and embedded within the text. The use of three-dimensional histograms is strongly discouraged
when the addition of the third dimension gives no extra information. If a table or figure has been published before, the authors must
obtain written permission to reproduce the material in both print and electronic formats from the copyright owner and submit it with
the manuscript.
Figure Legends
Legends should contain sufficient detail to make the figure easily understood.
Tables
Please use the Microsoft Word table function. Tables should include a title and concise footnotes and/or legend.

questions, please contact with us.
