Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolism is the sum of various catabolism and anabolism processes occurring in living cells, and its essence is the catalysis of enzymes. There is a whole set of extremely precise metabolic control systems in microbial cells, which ensures that thousands of enzymes in the cells carry out complex metabolic reactions in an orderly manner, thereby producing various metabolites. In recent years, researchers have used various advanced artificial technologies, such as metabolic engineering, enzyme engineering, synthetic biology, etc., to obtain mutant strains or even new strains that break through metabolic regulation. These strains can industrially produce various valuable metabolites, such as antibiotics, vitamins, amino acids, lipids, saccharides, nucleotides, enzymes, etc.
This Special issue on “Metabolic Properties of Microbial Cells or Enzymes” will publish reviews and original articles covering the latest use of metabolic engineering, enzyme engineering, synthetic biology, and other technologies to modify the metabolic properties of microbial cells or enzymes and efficiently synthesize various metabolites that can be applied in medicine, food, agriculture, industry, and other fields.
Furthermore, new technologies and methods for studying the metabolic properties of microbial cells or enzymes will be addressed.

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. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
