Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The established and emerging omics techniques all have their merits and limits, and, for many research questions, it is necessary to combine different techniques. This holds especially true for the analysis of the microbial ecology and physiology of gut microbiota and its interaction with the host. In this Special Issue, we are aiming at collecting reviews and original research that focus on the following aspects:

- symbiosis of microbiota and host
- model systems of the gastrointestinal microbiota
- combination and integration of different omics methodologies in microbiome research
- metabolic interaction of the microbiota and the host
- metabolic flux within the microbiota
- metagenomic prediction of metabolic functions
- functional characterisation of ecological niches within the gastrointestinal tract

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.
