Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microorganisms are used in many biotechnological processes. During the process, microorganisms may be exposed to internal and external stressors, including produced metabolites, reactive oxygen species, or xenobiotics such as nanomaterials. These factors can affect the viability and metabolic activity of cells leading to surprising effects on the process outcome such as the formation of persister cells or the induction of prophages. There are also reports showing that cellular stress can induce metabolic traits in microorganisms, that could be used to more effectively (or specifically) produce metabolites of interest.
This Special Issue focuses on abiotic and biotic stressors that can play a positive or negative role in biotechnological processes and bioengineering. We sincerely invite you to share your results regarding all aspects of physical, mechanical, chemical, or biological stressors in applied microbiology, biotechnology, and bioengineering.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
