Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rate of environmental pollution is constantly increasing, despite the efforts of humanity to develop technologies for its purification and apply technologies that have a small negative effect. A striking example of this is the situation in the oil industry around the world, the situation with microplastics in seawater, the remains of antibiotics and pesticides in soil, water and landfills. Studies have shown that one of the most promising areas for improving the environment is the use of the potential of microorganisms. Over the past decades, thanks to the development of new highly productive methods (NGS, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics) for the analysis of microbial communities and individual isolated microorganisms, new information has been accumulated that sheds light on the pathways of stable pollutants degradation in microorganisms. Data were obtained showing the general foundations of microbial pathways and unique features characteristic of individual isolates. In this issue, we invite all researchers working in the field of microbial degradation to share their knowledge on the pathways of microbial destruction of resistant pollutants. This special issue of the journal "Microorganisms" is dedicated to the achievements obtained in the research and recruitment of new pathways and enzymes in biotechnology. The creation of highly active biological preparations based on microbial biomolecules contributes to the purification and sustainable development of the environment.

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.
