Since Biostars has received wide attention in bioinformatics area, is there any other similar websites existing for other biology field such as Microbiology? I have made a few tries, but I did not found similar ones.

  • Protocols Online forum - this was started as a website to share protocols, but it is currently a very active community, discussing a bit of everything in biology. There it is even a section dedicated to Microbiology.
  • Reddit - Biology - reddit is a platform to share links and news, but there are also many open discussions, and you can ask questions
  • BioSCI/BioNet newsgroup: I don't know if there are many people still lurking in Usenet these days, but basically this is one of the first online forums dedicated to biology.
  • Quora - Biology 1 (requires google/facebook authentication to enter) - I've never used Quora very much, but it seems to be a very active community
  • Molecularlab.it - this is an Italian community in which I was a moderator before coming here to Biostar. Hey, you didn't say that you wanted only English-speaking communities :-)
