Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Terpenoids are widespread natural products that are formed from isoprene units, leading to their characteristic structure. Many of them possess biological activities and have been utilized as key lead compounds in drug development. We now plan to edit a Special Issue on “Terpenoids from Microorganisms: Their Chemistry and Biology”. Please submit your recent results of the following areas on terpenoids from microorganisms; isolation, analytical methods, structure determination, synthesis, biosynthesis, enzymatic process, biotranformation, and biological activity. We aim to provide a platform to present the valuable results of your research in these areas.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yasunori Yaoita

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.
