Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The application of gut microorganisms in medicine, industry, and other fields can produce great benefits. In addition, increasing the amount of basic research on microbiology will help its practical applications. The discovery of new methods in basic and applied microbiology can further promote its development.

Some food-grade probiotics maintain the balance of gut flora by producing acid and breaking down protein. Some pathogenic microorganisms also interact with their hosts with a variety of new and unknown mechanisms. Promoting the development of new technologies for the genetic engineering of basic microorganisms can increase technical support for the use and modification of probiotic strains for the treatment of immune diseases and the enhancement of human intestinal health. It also provides a technical basis for the study of microbial disease.

The objective is to expand both basic and applied microbiology research in order to unlock the vast potential of gut microorganisms for various medical, industrial, and scientific applications. Advancing genetic engineering capabilities for microbes is highlighted as a key area for enabling these advancements.

In this Special Issue of Microorganisms, we invite you to submit contributions (research articles, review articles, and short communications) concerning any aspects related to applied gut molecular microbiology technology.

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. Microorganisms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
