Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the rapidly evolving field of blue biotechnology, the untapped potential of marine fungi is a frontier waiting to be explored. The adaptative mechanisms of fungi to oceans make marine fungi excellent producers of biocompounds that can be applied in various industries, from pharmaceuticals and agriculture to aquaculture. By employing omics technologies, we can delve deeper into the genetic and metabolic complexities of marine fungi, accelerating the discovery of novel compounds.
While we have begun to understand the genomics of marine fungi, there is still much to explore in the fields of proteomics, metabolomics, and especially marine fungi lipidomics. These areas can reveal new insights into the potential contributions of marine fungi to blue biotechnology.
We invite authors to contribute to this Special Issue, shedding light on the potential of marine fungi as contributors to sustainability in blue biotechnology, using omics approaches from genomics to lipidomics.

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. Marine Drugs 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 2900 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.
