Style request: Microbial Biotechnology

I need to format my citations for the journal Microbial Biotechnology:

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1751-7915

Can you please help me?

I don´t know the name/style of the reference format.

According to the instructions of the journal:
In the text, references should be inserted in parentheses in date order, as follows: (Pugsley, 1996; Matsunaga et al., 1997). The reference list should be in alphabetical order according to the first-named author. Papers with two authors should follow those of the first-named author, arranged in alphabetical order according to the name of the second author. Articles with more than two authors should follow those of the first named author in chronological order; with multiple references from the same first author in a given year, please list the references in cited order. The title of the article must be included. For papers with up to seven authors, the names of all authors should be listed. For papers with eight or more authors, the first six names should be listed, followed by 'et al.'. Standard abbreviations of journal titles should be used, as in the Index Medicus. Please see the following examples:

References to material available on the World Wide Web can be given, but only if the information is available without charge to readers on an official site. The format for citations is as follows:

    In the first step, you can try similar (or same) style on http://editor.citationstyles.org/searchByExample/
    Did you try it?

    EDIT: is this style different from styles for a sister journal of the premier microbiology journals Molecular Microbiology, Environmental Microbiology and Cellular Microbiology. These journals are in style repository available.

    EDIT2: It seems, that style for Molecular Microbiology is not good, there is a lot of problematic parts in output if you import items from databases (Scopus, WoS etc.). My suggestion is the use of Environmental Microbiology style.

    EDIT3: I have created new pull request for Microbial Biotechnology style dependent on Environmental Microbiology style (https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/pull/2093)
  • Thank you so much.
    I'm going to use the Environmental Microbiology style.
