Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your research on the exploration and therapeutic application of microbial bioactive metabolites. Bioactive molecules from microorganisms are highly variegated. Primary metabolites include polysaccharides, proteins, fatty acids, etc., while secondary metabolites are often used in antibacterial, antiviral, and antiproliferative agents, playing a pivotal role in disease prevention and treatment.
This Special Issue “Bioactive Microbial Metabolites: Recent Developments and Challenges” aims to give an overview of the extraction, structural identification, and therapeutic effects of microbial bioactive metabolites and other related studies.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Extraction and characterization of bioactive metabolites;
- Novel structures of bioactive compounds from microorganisms;
- Strategies for synthesis of bioactive metabolites and their analogues;
- Development and innovation of bioactive metabolites for disease prevention and treatment

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
