Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gut microbiome plays a major role in the maintenance of human heath, while gut microbiome deviations are involved in the progress and development of human diseases. Modulation of gut microbiome in a healthy state has been a promising strategy for maintaining human health and disease therapy. Natural metabolites, including primary and secondary metabolites from plants, fungi and bacteria, are important resources for developing gut microbiome modulators. Although some natural metabolites have demonstrated potential roles in gut microbiome modulation, more studies are needed to distinguish novel natural metabolites and explore how they improve human health and combat human diseases via modulating gut microbiome. This Special Issue engages with, but is not limited to the following topics:
- Studying the structures and roles of natural metabolites on gut microbiome;
- New techniques on developing novel natural metabolites as gut microbiome modulators;
- Optimization of known natural metabolites as gut microbiome modulators;
- Roles of natural metabolites on human health and diseases through modulating gut microbiome;
- Mechanisms linking natural metabolites and gut microbiome as well as human health conditions.

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.
