Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
The marine microbiome consists of various microorganisms in the ocean and any related environment, including seabed soils, sea sediments, and marine organisms (e.g., animals and plants). Molecules produced by marine microorganisms are considered to play various roles in marine ecosystems by affecting each other or other organisms. To better understand how these molecules are involved in marine communities, it is necessary to conduct more research. In this Special Issue, we will focus on the following topics: 1) molecular profiling of microorganisms, 2) exploration of unique or unusual molecules, 3) molecular interactions between organisms in marine communities, 4) new techniques for the isolation and culture of microorganisms, and 5) new tools to organize and analyze data on microorganisms and their molecules.
For this Special Issue, I encourage researchers to submit their latest findings related to the above-mentioned topics. I expect that this Special Issue will contribute to promoting important advances in marine biotechnology and marine drugs discovery.

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 collection 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. Marine Drugs 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 2900 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.
