# Microbiology and microbial communities profiles All profiles in the Microbiology and microbial communities domain, version 0.1.0-alpha.5. The Review column shows each profile's review status. In this release every profile is candidate or draft, and none has been scientifically reviewed yet. A profile describes whether two ports fit together; it does not establish scientific validity or clinical safety. | Profile | Name | Stage | Review | Required items | |---|---|---:|---:|---:| | [Alpha Diversity](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/alpha-diversity/v0.1.json) | `alpha-diversity` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 4 | | [Amplicon Sequence Variant](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/amplicon-sequence-variant/v0.1.json) | `amplicon-sequence-variant` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 6 | | [Antimicrobial Susceptibility](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/antimicrobial-susceptibility/v0.1.json) | `antimicrobial-susceptibility` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 4 | | [Beta Diversity](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/beta-diversity/v0.1.json) | `beta-diversity` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 4 | | [Biofilm Biomass](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/biofilm-biomass/v0.1.json) | `biofilm-biomass` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 7 | | [Colony Forming Units](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/colony-forming-units/v0.1.json) | `colony-forming-units` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 4 | | [Community Time Series](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/community-time-series/v0.1.json) | `community-time-series` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 9 | | [Culture Condition](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/culture-condition/v0.1.json) | `culture-condition` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 4 | | [Fermentation Profile](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/fermentation-profile/v0.1.json) | `fermentation-profile` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 4 | | [Functional Abundance](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/functional-abundance/v0.1.json) | `functional-abundance` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 7 | | [Host Microbe Interaction](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/host-microbe-interaction/v0.1.json) | `host-microbe-interaction` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 4 | | [Metagenomic Counts](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/metagenomic-counts/v0.1.json) | `metagenomic-counts` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 4 | | [Metatranscriptomic Counts](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/metatranscriptomic-counts/v0.1.json) | `metatranscriptomic-counts` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 4 | | [Microbial Community Profile](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/microbial-community-profile/v0.1.json) | `microbial-community-profile` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 4 | | [Microbial Gene Content](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/microbial-gene-content/v0.1.json) | `microbial-gene-content` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 6 | | [Microbial Genome](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/microbial-genome/v0.1.json) | `microbial-genome` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 4 | | [Microbial Growth Rate](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/microbial-growth-rate/v0.1.json) | `microbial-growth-rate` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 7 | | [Microbial Metabolite Exchange](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/microbial-metabolite-exchange/v0.1.json) | `microbial-metabolite-exchange` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 6 | | [Microbial Taxon](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/microbial-taxon/v0.1.json) | `microbial-taxon` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 6 | | [Minimum Inhibitory Concentration](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/minimum-inhibitory-concentration/v0.1.json) | `minimum-inhibitory-concentration` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 7 | | [Operational Taxonomic Unit](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/operational-taxonomic-unit/v0.1.json) | `operational-taxonomic-unit` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 6 | | [Resistance Gene Profile](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/resistance-gene-profile/v0.1.json) | `resistance-gene-profile` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 6 | | [Strain Identity](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/strain-identity/v0.1.json) | `strain-identity` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 6 | | [Taxonomic Abundance](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/taxonomic-abundance/v0.1.json) | `taxonomic-abundance` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 9 | | [Virulence Factor Profile](/standards/model-compatibility/profiles/microbiology/virulence-factor-profile/v0.1.json) | `virulence-factor-profile` | WAVE_2 | candidate | 4 | Each profile links to its JSON definition.
