Microbial Ecology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Microbial Ecology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Microbial Ecology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Microbial Ecology use?
