Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomethane is a valuable products for heat or electric power generation, however, its disordered release would result in global temperature raising, due to its high greenhouse effects. The biomethane is produced from the biological processes, such as anaerobic digestion and landfill. Furthermore, wetland is another key biomethane emission source. Biomethane generation is a complex microbial metabolism, and numerous studies have focused on this issue, including syntrophic relationships among different microbes, methane generation enhancement, and electron transfer between hydrolysis microorganism and methanogens. Potential topics of this species issue include but are not limited to: biomethane production from anaerobic digestion of biowaste, characteristics of microbial metabolism during biomethane production process, biomethane oxidation, biomethane release control, biomethane release characteristics.
We welcome original research, review and mini-review articles.

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. Fermentation 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 2100 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.
