Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The oceans harbor a wealth of marine microbial resources. Due to their long-term adaptation to extreme marine environments, marine microorganisms have developed unique ecological adaptation mechanisms and environmental tolerance. They influence the biodiversity, energy flow, and nutrient cycling of marine ecosystems; some marine microorganisms interact with marine animals and plants through parasitic or symbiotic relationships, impacting the health of their hosts. With the advancement of metagenomic sequencing, microbial isolation, and cultivation techniques, the functions and environmental adaptation mechanisms of these marine microorganisms are gradually being understood, leading to the development and application of marine microbial resources. This Special Issue focuses on using genetics, molecular biology, and genomics to reveal the diversity, evolution, adaptability, and physiological ecological functions of marine microorganisms, further exploring their functional and application potential. Contributions are welcome on current challenges, new insights, recent discoveries, and future prospects in the field of marine microbiology.

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. Genes 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 2600 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.
