Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of science and technology, coupled with population growth, have raised concerns about environmental pollution and the depletion of natural resources. Bioremediation technology is an environmentally friendly and cost effective. It uses biomasses to remove, biodegrade, and/or transform organic and inorganic pollutants in polluted sites. The detoxification of xenobiotics by biomass was an innovative method and became an attractive technology due to its unique characteristics. The knowledge related to the factors involved in microorganism growth, their metabolism, and their dynamic interaction with pollutants in real environmental conditions can facilitate the implementation of bioremediation on a large scale. Nevertheless, microbial-based bioremediation methods are limited.
This Special Issue aims to gather research covering all aspects related to microorganism application in bioremediation. It will bring together high-impact articles on microorganism-based degradation technology including current status, challenges, and opportunities, especially those concerning upgrading from the laboratory scale to the pilot scale. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Bioaugmentation of air pollutants in the lab and pilot scale;
- Microbial–pollutant interactions;
- Microbial detoxifying mechanisms in bioremediation of gases environmental contaminants;
- Genetically engineered microorganisms (GEMs) potential for polluted air bioremediation;
- Novel strategies for enhancing bioremediation of polluted air.

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.
