Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fungi are a huge treasure trove of bioactive compound resources. It is estimated that there are more than one million fungal species in the world, including 100 thousand known species. Compared with plants, fungi have a greater diversity of secondary metabolites because the living environment of fungi varies greatly. Fungi can not only synthetize well-known antibiotics such as penicillin, cephaloridine and cyclosporin, but also growth regulators, immunoregulators, antioxidants etc., through which fungi can crosstalk with the environment. However, the secondary metabolites of more than 90% of fungi have not been studied. This has seriously affected people’s understanding of fungal language and the utilization of the fungal secondary metabolites. Therefore, this Special Issue will attempt to provide a platform for promoting research on fungal secondary metabolites’ analysis, identification, biosynthesis, bioactivities and metabolism.

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.
