Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microorganisms constitute important platforms for the biosynthesis of numerous valuable molecules, being fundamental for the biobased manufacturing industry. The studies in biotechnology and applied microbiology are constantly evolving and focusing especially on the use of microorganism as cell factories for valuable biocompounds.
This Special Issue will provide an excellent tool for sharing recent advances in microbial biosynthesis. The potential topics include the microbial biosynthesis of bioactive metabolites and nutritionally valuable compounds—such as vitamins, exopolysaccharides, antioxidants, colorants, single-cell proteins, and single-cell lipids—as well as novel food additives, all related to the simultaneous utilization or valorization of troublesome waste (from agriculture and the food industry) or low-cost and rapid production through environmentally benign routes.
You are very welcome to send contributions concerning many aspects related to microbial biosynthesis, including both fundamental and applied research. As the guest editor of this Special Issue, I invite you to submit original articles, review articles, and short communications.
Dr. Iwona Gientka
Guest Editor
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.
