Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biotechnology refers especially to the exploitation of biological processes that are applicable to various industrial sectors and involved in fields such as genetic engineering, protein engineering, metabolic engineering, biochemical engineering, and bioprocesses. These fields are necessary for the viable production and the bioseparation of bioproducts through downstream processes by different techniques. Bioseparation techniques are especially critical to the obtainment and industrial application of bioproducts, representing a major manufacturing cost. However, advances in bioseparation processes have led to the improvement of several established techniques. In addition, the emergence of new techniques, process integration, automation, greener practices, and other important trends makes it feasible to obtain and properly apply bioproducts of interest to various industrial sectors. In this sense, it is important to highlight the advances in bioprocesses and bioseparation, which contribute to the development of several industrial sectors and the resumption of economic growth in several countries. Contributions to this Special Issue should cover trends and advances in industrial biotechnology, including the area of bioprocesses and bioseparation. We welcome high-quality research articles, communications, and review articles emphasizing the broad scope of the topic.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
