Recent Advances in Bioreactor System: Design, Operation and Application

Dear Colleagues,

Bioreactors are a vital tool in bioprocessing, providing a controlled environment for the growth of living cells of microorganisms, plants and fungi, thus enabling efficient and precise bioprocessing. The utilization of bioreactors leads to the establishment of effective control parameters for cell growth and valuable secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Utilizing culture in a bioreactor may also be a crucial step in the production of biomass and valuable natural compounds, from a laboratory to a semi-industrial and even industrial-scale process. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to present new data and experimental results both in the field of new bioreactor systems/prototypes, as well as known constructions used for novel, scientifically unexplored species of microorganisms, fungi and plants; this is particularly with regard to the production of high-efficiency biomass and the biosynthesis of valuable natural compounds . This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original scientific papers that provide new data on bioreactor cultures with a focus on novel, more efficient scalable bioprocessing systems.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
