Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last few decades, chemical ecology has eavesdropped on the chemical language underlying microbe–host interactions. Despite increasing recognition that bacteria–animal interactions are the basis of evolution, the identity of signaling molecules underlying these interactions have remained largely enigmatic. Therefore, more efforts describing the chemistry and signaling molecules underlying defined multipartner interactions are pressingly needed. Furthermore, the structural diversity of natural products serving as signalling molecules provides a rich source of novel biologically/pharmacologically-active compounds. This Special Issue welcomes original research and reviews of literature on important aspects of natural products involved in defined bacteria–bacteria, bacteria–eukaryotes and fungi–eukaryotes interaction scenarios.

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. Molecules 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 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.
