Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine microorganisms originate from the marine environment and exhibit remarkable survival capabilities, persisting and reproducing over extended durations within extreme conditions such as low temperatures, high pressures, elevated temperatures, and high salinity. This category encompasses various microorganisms, including eukaryotic organisms like fungi, algae, and protozoa, as well as prokaryotic entities like marine bacteria, marine actinomycetes, and marine cyanobacteria. Additionally, cell-free agents such as viruses are also part of this marine microbial realm. Notably, microorganisms constitute a vital component of marine ecosystems, engaging in intricate interactions with marine surroundings. Investigating the interplay between marine microorganisms and the overall marine ecology holds immense potential for enhancing the diversity of marine life forms and safeguarding the marine ecosystem.
In light of these considerations, the primary objective of this Special Issue is to assemble contributions centered around the subsequent focal areas: the ecological evolution of novel marine microorganisms; the extent of marine microbial diversity; the intricate interrelationships binding the marine environment and microorganisms; and the dynamics of planktonic microorganisms.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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.
