Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biological wastewater treatment has a history of over 100 years, and new processes are still being discovered and innovated. Meanwhile, molecular technologies are more accessible and affordable for wastewater treatment sectors, bringing in more information on the microbial community in wastewater treatment. For example, together, high-throughput sequencing, meta-omics, isotopic labelling, and Raman spectroscopy can generate vast data. However, efficiently using these data to generate new insights into microbial community characteristics, ecology, metabolic pathways, and kinetics in order to inspire new hypotheses, new products, and process designs remains challenging.
This Special Issue focuses on the microbial community in wastewater treatment processes. We welcome both review and research papers on themes of microbial community in innovative processes, microbial ecology in conventional wastewater treatment, application of molecular technologies to bring new insights, microbiome (prokaryotes, eukaryotes, virome, mobilome), and public health-related microorganisms in wastewater.

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. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
