Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microalgal metabolism has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its potential applications in biofuels, bioremediation, and as a source of high-value compounds. The study of microalgal metabolism is rapidly evolving, with new insights paving the way for its use in sustainable agriculture, bioenergy, and food development and utilization. Continued research in genetic engineering, cultivation methods, and metabolic pathways is likely to unlock even more potential applications, making microalgae a cornerstone of future biotechnological advancements.
This Special Issue is dedicated to the topic of metabolism in microalgae, covering a range of subjects, including but not limited to the following: photosynthetic efficiency and carbon fixation, lipid metabolism, advances in research on microalgae as a nutritional source and their applications in animal feed and human nutrition, the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, applications of synthetic biology in the regulation of microalgal metabolism, stress responses and adaptation mechanisms, and applications in bioremediation.

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. Metabolites 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 2700 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.
