Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine biological resources have gained great attention for the advantages of huge biomass, diverse species, and novel metabolites. Aside from traditional aquatic products, high-value metabolites from marine microorganisms are a new research hotspot in the fields of pharmaceuticals, functional foods, and agriculture. New metabolites with important applications or great potential have been isolated, characterized, prepared, and engineered. Moreover, marine microorganisms have been modified to produce more and diverse high-value metabolites.
This Special Issue invites articles regarding the recent progress in metabolites from marine microorganisms. These metabolites include, but are not limited to, functional lipids, enzymes, pigments, polysaccharides, and other small molecules. Articles about preparation technology, bioactivity verification, and biotransformation technology are all welcome. We particularly welcome articles that involve metabolic engineering and genetic engineering for the characterization and promotion of marine natural products.
