Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Probiotics are live microorganisms that can improve gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut microbiome, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy immune system and overall wellbeing. The research field of functional probiotics has rapidly evolved in recent years with the increasing demand for functional foods and personalized nutrition for specific health benefits and the potential for large-scale production. Biotechnology has played a critical role in advancing probiotic research, enabling the development of new strains with improved functionality and efficacy.
We are excited to invite researchers and experts in the field of biotechnology to submit their latest research to this Special Issue “Development of Functional Probiotics and Advances in Biotechnology”. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Isolation, characterization, and analysis of any potential probiotic
- Innovative techniques for improving the function/efficacy of probiotics.
- Therapeutic implications of genetically engineered probiotics.
- The effects of functional probiotics on the immune system and overall well-being.
- The use of bioreactors for the large-scale production of probiotics.
- Processing and storage of functional probiotics.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
