Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biotechnological processes are intrinsically correlated with the sustainable future of the world; for instance, microalgae can mitigate CO2 and simultaneously produce protein and lipids. Fungi, bacteria, and yeasts can produce compounds of interest. However, these processes are quite complex. Thus, it is fundamental to use accurate analytical methods to control them. These methods are in a continuous state of development and improvement. The COVID-19 pandemic evidenced the need to quickly develop reliable, fast and low-cost detection methods. Classic methods such as spectrometry and plate count, among others, are still useful; nevertheless, RMN and mass spectrometry, among other approaches, mainly related to omics, have been providing new information that leads to a deeper comprehension of processes. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on the biotechnological process control, in particular, the analytical methods applied to control them.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
