Biosynthesis of Metabolites from Microorganisms, or Microorganism-Host Interaction? (Volume II)

Dear Colleagues,

Microbial metabolites are compounds that microorganisms use to complete their own life activities. They include primary metabolites such as amino acids, lipids, and organic acids, and secondary metabolites such as antibiotics. Different microorganisms produce different metabolites, resulting in diverse structures of metabolites that are widely used in medicine and industry. The biosynthesis of metabolites also provides new ideas and breakthroughs for research in the life sciences.

For this Special Issue, research on the regulation mechanism of metabolite biosynthesis and analyses of the metabolite biosynthesis process are welcome for submission. Moreover, submissions of research on the biological activity of metabolites are also welcome.

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. Biology 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.
