Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The nitrogen cycle is a fundamental biogeochemical process that underpins life on Earth, involving the transformation of nitrogen between its various chemical forms. Microbial communities play a pivotal role in this cycle, mediating processes such as nitrogen fixation, nitrification, denitrification, and ammonification. This Special Issue aims to explore the intricate relationships between microbial communities and nitrogen cycling, highlighting recent research findings, technological advancements, and theoretical insights. We welcome submissions that examine the diversity, function, and resilience of microbial populations in various ecosystems, as well as studies that investigate the impact of environmental changes on nitrogen cycling processes. By bringing together interdisciplinary research, this issue seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics within microbial nitrogen transformations and their implications for ecosystem health and global biogeochemical cycles.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 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.
