Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue we encourage the submission of papers (research papers or reviews) on the biotechnology of non-conventional yeasts. Non-conventional yeasts have stimulated increasing interest with the development of molecular means that have made it possible to know the genomic profile of several yeast species with promising biotechnological application.
The present Special Issue is focused on recent developments in non-conventional yeasts biotechnology, with topics including recent techniques for characterizing yeasts and their physiology (including omics and nanobiotechnology techniques), methods to adapt industrial strains (including metabolic, synthetic, and evolutionary engineering), and the molecular aspects on the use of yeasts as microbial cell factories to produce biopharmaceuticals, enzymes, alcohols, organic acids, flavors, and fine chemicals. There is a growing interest in the applications of non-conventional yeasts as starters for functional foods or fermented beverages, as well as producers of antimicrobial compounds. In this regard, further investigations on the molecular characteristics of these non-conventional yeasts needed.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
