Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Developing engineering biological systems for the sustainable production of chemicals and innovative products is a crucial step in establishing a robust bioeconomy. To enable sustainable bioproduction, synthetic biology-driven approaches have significantly contributed to the valorization of renewable carbon sources, such as biomass and industrial byproducts. However, there is still a long path ahead to achieve scalability and economic viability.
This Special Issue of Bioengineering, titled Harnessing Microbes for Bioproduction: From Synthetic Biology to Bioprocess Scale-Up, presents original research papers and reviews by leading experts from around the world. Topics of interest include synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, biotechnology, bioprocess engineering, production scale-up, and related fields. We aim to showcase interdisciplinary approaches and cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of microbial bioproduction, ranging from genetic design to industrial implementation.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
