Applied Microbiology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Applied Microbiology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Applied Microbiology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI single-column format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Applied Microbiology use?
Applied Microbiology uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, A representative article title, Applied Microbiology 12 (2023) 45–58.
