Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to invite you to contribute a paper to a Special Issue dedicated to bioactive metabolites of bacterial origin.
This Special Issue will focus on the latest research advances in bioactive metabolites synthesized by bacteria. Bioactive metabolites produced by bacteria are known to exhibit a wide variety of biologically active properties, including antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities, to name just a few. The discovery of new bioactive metabolites, as well as understanding their mechanisms of action, biosynthesis, and regulation, is of paramount importance for the development of novel drugs and medicine.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for experts to share their research and insights on various aspects of bioactive metabolites of bacterial origin. The scope of this Special Issue will cover recent findings in biosynthetic pathways, genomic analysis, identification, and characterization of novel compounds from bacterial sources, as well as the application of advanced biotechnological strategies to explore the potential of bacterial metabolites discovery.
We welcome research articles, review articles, and short communications on this subject, and we look forward to bringing together a collection of high-quality research contributions from around the world, which will stimulate further debate and understanding on 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. Fermentation 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 2100 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.
