Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current issue is a continuation of the Special Issue “Genomics of Marine and Aquatic Bacteria: A Focus on Novel Taxa, Diversity and Biotechnological Potential”.
Marine and aquatic bacteria represent an enormous portion of biodiversity and are a valuable bioprospecting source in the search for novel bioactive compounds, functional food ingredients, and polymers. Our knowledge regarding the bacterial world has been greatly advanced by exploring bacterial genome sequences, especially in bacterial systematics, genetic diversity, and microbial evolution. Advances in genomics promote the application of genetic information of bacteria in virtually unlimited areas. To describe new taxa, environmental microbiologists have to combine culture-dependent studies with genome sequence analyses. Research on bacteria recovered from underexplored, remote, and extreme environments, such as arctic seas, the deep sea, or underground waters and sediments, is a challenge for understanding microbial diversity, its conservation, and further biotechnological use. We firmly believe that new taxa will result in new genes, new knowledge, and new opportunities.

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.
