Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to kindly invite you to contribute to this Special Issue entitled “Bioactive Compounds in Algae”. This Special Issue aims to cover the latest outstanding discoveries on bioactive compounds derived from algae. Algae are a remarkably diverse group of aquatic plants, ranging from the microscopic microalgae to large seaweeds (macroalgae). They contain a vast array of biologically active compounds, such as peptides, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, carotenoids, polyphenols, dietary fiber, and polysaccharides. Algae have been used in food, feed, cosmeceutical, nutraceutical, and biofuel production industries.
With the growing interest on bioactive compounds from algae, this Special Issue aims to present some of the most significant and recent research on bioactive compounds derived from macroalgae and microalgae. This issue focuses on a panel of research of algae-derived bioactive compounds, for instance, extraction, identification, potential health-promoting effects, and innovative exploitation and utilization. Both research and review papers are welcome.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Extraction methodologies for extraction of bioactive compounds from algae;
- Identification of bioactive compounds from algae;
- Health-promoting effects of algae-derived compounds;
- Molecular mechanisms regulated by bioactive compounds from algae.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
