Manuscript Topics
In recent years, biotechnologies (biotools, bioprocesses, omics, etc.) have been behind ground-breaking innovations in novel or active compounds for Industry, Agriculture and Environment. With the rapid development of modern biotechnology, more and more people pay attention to the production of chemical products by using the characteristics of biological transformation, especially the new products that are difficult to get by ordinary chemical means, changing the existing technology, and solving the two thorny problems of energy crisis and environmental pollution that have been troubled for a long time. As important cell factories for the synthesis of proteins, small and large metabolites and for the production of both single cell proteins and single cell oils, microorganisms play an important role in biotechnology due to their diversity of species, versatility of metabolism as well as comparably genetically tractable features.
Microbial biotechnology includes the production and use of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms (i.e., bacteria, archaea, yeasts, fungi, algae) for material synthesis, as well as the application of microorganisms or their materials in industry, agriculture and the environment. At the same time, microorganisms or their products are increasingly widely used in energy, food and feed, biocatalysis, mining and new materials. This special issue aims to provide the latest knowledge on the potential of microbial biotechnology and a broad view of current trends to better promote innovation in microbial biotechnology.
With this we invite manuscript submissions into the following topics:
• Microbial production
• Bioengineering
• Biocatalysis
• Bioenergy and biofuels
• Microbial cell factory
• Microbial biotechnology
• Microbial biosynthesis of added value products
• Bio-process development
• Remediation biotechnology
