Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioaerosols originate from biological processes and are among the most widely used aerosols that have been investigated. They can play crucial roles in natural, environmental, agricultural, industrial, and human health processes and significantly contribute to public health effects by triggering allergies and infectious diseases. Bioaerosols may also be involved in global elemental cycles, atmospheric chemistry, and cloud and precipitation processes, potentially playing a significant role in the global climate. The study of bioaerosols is highly complex despite their long history and extensive impact; numerous important questions pertaining to bioaerosols remain unanswered. Key challenges in bioaerosol research include its multidisciplinary nature, encompassing not only aerosol science, microbiology, atmospheric science, physics, chemistry, and engineering but also requiring knowledge in building science, ventilation systems, and human dynamics analysis as well as expertise in public health, infectious diseases, agriculture, climate change, and countless other scientific disciplines.
The development of high-throughput sequence technologies, such as the single-molecule nanopore DNA sequencing from Oxford Nanopore Technologies and single-molecule real-time from Pacific Biosciences, has opened new avenues for understanding the microbial community. Therefore, we invite you to consider submitting your research focusing on relevant new technologies or insights for publication in this Special Issue of Microorganisms.

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. Microorganisms 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.
