Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fermentative hydrogen production from different waste materials is a promising approach to produce bio-energy in terms of renewable energy exploration, which is under extensive investigation worldwide. A wide variety of organic wastes can be used as feedstock for hydrogen production in fermentation, thus providing an added advantage to waste recycling. However, the process of fermentation is essentially restricted by the low yields of hydrogen, and so advancements are still necessary. Extensive research has been conducted to overcome such bottlenecks. Various technologies have been used to improve the fermentative hydrogen yield, including bacterial strain, substrate, reactor design, metabolic engineering, and two-stage processes; the pretreatment of the seed sludge; the optimization of the bioprocess parameters (e.g., temperature, pH, organic loading rate, hydraulic retention time, effluent recycling ratio, nitrogen, phosphate, metal ion), etc.
The goal of this Special Issue is to publish recent and innovative research results, as well as review papers, on fermentative hydrogen production. Review and research papers on microbiology, biochemistry, and enzymology for fermentative hydrogen production are also of interest. If you would like to contribute a review paper, please contact one of the editors to discuss the topic's relevance before submitting the manuscript.

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.
