Special Issue on Microbial Fermentation

This special issue on “Microbial Fermentation” will be focusing on the latest development in the production of microbial metabolites by fermentation. Microbial fermentation, as a significant field of bioscience and biotechnology, is a process that microorganisms utilize carbohydrates to produce kinds of metabolites. With different microorganisms or fermentation modes, different metabolites come. In a very long time, microbial fermentation has been used by humans for the metabolic products, such as lactic acid, antibiotics, alcohol and so on. Now, microbial fermentation plays an increasingly important role in many aspects of human life and production. It’s not only used to produce chemicals and other compounds for chemistry and energy industries, but also used to make some food for people. Although some metabolites can be obtained from nature in a certain degree, microbial fermentation can provide a relatively high yield to meet people’s requirements. As one of the most important ways to gain products demanded by human, microbial fermentation is of great attractions to researchers.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring microbial fermentation. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

•  Microbial fermentation
•  Batch fermentation
•  Continuous fermentation
•  Fed-batch fermentation
•  Solid state fermentation
•  Submerged fermentation
•  Yield of metabolites
•  Anaerobic respiration
•  Food fermentation

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Microbial Fermentation” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
