Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metagenomics and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) revolutionized the study of complex microbial populations and drove the expansion of burst genomic analyses to an increasing number of taxonomic groups. In the last decade, the reduced costs and increased availability of next-generation sequencing techniques was also utilized in the study of food-related microorganisms, eliciting a holistic method to the study of microbiota, a genome-based approach for phylogeny, and a deeper exploration of the genic potential of technological microorganisms, probiotics, and foodborne pathogens.
This Special Issue of Microorganisms, entitled “Food Microorganisms and Genomics”, deals with studies based on NGS analyses for the description of microbial populations of foods, the monitoring of foodborne pathogens as well as probiotics and technological starters, and the genomic comparison of microbial taxa of food and nutraceutical interest. NGS-based studies on food–gut microbiota interactions are also included in the scope of this Special Issue.

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.
