Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the continuation of our previous Special Issue, "Novel Microbial Enzymes with Industrial Applications".
The use of enzymes in different industries is increasing in order to contribute to environmental sustainability and to the circular bioeconomy. Most industrial enzymes are produced today from microorganisms, which are either recombinant or wild-type. However, due to the usually harsh and peculiar conditions of the growing variety of enzyme applications, novel enzymes with suitable characteristics are being demanded in parallel. These novel enzymes can be obtained through the bioprospection of microorganisms inhabiting extremophilic environments, mainly thermophilic ones, the protein engineering of existing enzymes, or by a combination of both approaches. Since the vast majority of microbial diversity is still unknown due to the high proportion of unculturable species, the use of functional metagenomics techniques is broadening the spectrum of novel microbial enzymes being studied.
This Special Issue will publish papers on all aspects of novel microbial enzymes, from their discovery to their improvement and production, in addition to their biotechnological and industrial applications.

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.
