Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Yeast, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, are microorganisms that have shared a long history with humans since ancient times. In recent years, yeasts other than S. cerevisiae and Sz. pombe, called non-conventional yeasts, have also attracted attention. These yeasts have been extensively studied in whole-genome analysis, the functional analysis of yeast genes using genetic recombination, and genome editing to elucidate life phenomena, and in the use of yeast in biotechnology to achieve SDGs.
This Special Issue will consist of a selection of papers presenting original research and reviews on yeast whole-genome analysis, gene functional analysis, yeast adaptation to stress, and the use of yeast to achieve SDGs. Papers selected for this Special Issue will undergo a rigorous peer-review process with the aim of ensuring a rapid and widespread dissemination of research results, developments, and applications.

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