Aquatic Organism Associated Microbes as A Source of Novel Natural Products

This special issue belongs to the section “Natural Products Chemistry“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Microbes have been recognized as an important source of bioactive secondary metabolites. However, research interests on the potential of associated microbes as a chemical producer have been limited due to the delicacy of the strain isolation technique. For quatic organism associates, it has been increasingly highlighted that actual producers of many important natural products are associated microbes.

This Special Issue aims to integrate original research articles and reviews regarding studies of natural products chemistry from associated microbes of aquatic organisms, such as marine and freshwater invertebrates, fish, aquatic mammals, halophytes, filter feeders, benthos, and others.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
