Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent developments in microbiology enabled us to understand that micro-organisms whether terrestrial, marine or aerial, are integral players in our planet evolution. We are co-evolving, and bacteria, fungi, microalgae, viruses etc. are essential partners in what we will be able to undertake, now and in the future, in order to meet the major barriers facing human beings on planet earth and perhaps beyond. The full range of technologies now available in all fields of research (physics, chemistry, biology, geography and sociology, etc.) and above all multidisciplinary approaches, are more essential than ever to advance our understanding of the “Microbial Cell Factory” and take advantage of a controlled collaboration with the microbial world. The microbial cell must be considered as a true scientific partner and, as such, studied from every angle. Thus, all articles providing new knowledge on the use of the microbial cells to overcome the major challenges of our time: microbial strains with novel physiological capacities, original bioprocesses or biotechnologies adapted for the management of a sustainable environment, renewable energies or bioproducts of interest in the food, pharmacological, cosmetic, environmental fields, etc., are some of the aspects that can be developed in this special issue, highlighting the microbial world and the microbial cell factories as allies in our future world.

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.
