Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
ECM 2020 (https://ecm-2020.sciforum.net/) will present the latest research related to prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, viruses, and prions. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Gut microbiota and health disease;
- Foodborne pathogens and food safety;
- Antimicrobial agents and resistance;
- Emerging infectious diseases;
- Successful bacterial clones;
- Cyclic di-nucleotide signaling;
- Ecology and physiology of acidobacteria;
- Microbial characterization and bioprocess;
- Digitalization and automation for the characterization of microorganisms and bioprocess development;
- Expression of difficult-to-express proteins;
- Microbial bioprocess development with synthetic microorganisms (microorganisms which have been created by means of synthetic biology);
- Microbe–plant interactions
- Endophytic microbes: applications and effects on plant hosts;
- Nitrogen-fixing symbioses in plants;
- Microbe–plant interactions in plant disease;
- Symbioses effects on plant resilience in a changing climate;
- A new agriculture employing symbiotic microbes in place of agrochemicals;
- Evolutionary insights into parasitism, pathogenicity, and drugable targets in the Alveolata.
This Special Issue is cooperating with the ECM 2020. Registered participants of this conference are invited to submit their manuscripts to be considered for publication. Authors may consider to contribute an original research article or review in areas related to the conference themes.

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. Microorganisms 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
