系统和应用微生物学涉及微生物多样性和原核生物系统学的各个方面。它主要研究细菌和古细菌；只有在少数情况下才会考虑真核微生物。该杂志对微生物多样性有着广泛的理解，并鼓励提交以下微生物学分支的手稿：系统学：涉及分类和分类学的理论和实践问题，即：（i）原核生物类群的新描述或修订，包括念珠菌类中尚未培养的类群的描述；（i i）确定分类和系谱关系的创新方法；（i i i）分类内的评价。多学科方法的多样性；（iv）识别方法。

Systematic and Applied Microbiology deals with various aspects of microbial diversity and systematics of prokaryotes. It focuses on Bacteria and Archaea; eukaryotic microorganisms will only be considered in rare cases. The journal perceives a broad understanding of microbial diversity and encourages the submission of manuscripts from the following branches of microbiology: Systematics: Theoretical and practical issues dealing with classification and taxonomy, i.e. (i) new descriptions or revisions of prokaryotic taxa, including descriptions of not-yet cultured taxa in the category Candidatus (ii) innovative methods for the determination of taxonomical and genealogical relationships, (iii) evaluation of intra-taxon diversity through multidisciplinary approaches, (iv) identification methods.
