Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Industrial microorganisms and enzyme technologies play a pivotal role in modern biotechnology, driving innovations in sustainable manufacturing, bioenergy, pharmaceuticals, food production, etc. Advances in genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and biocatalysis have significantly enhanced the efficiency and scalability of microbial and enzymatic processes. These technologies are critical for reducing environmental impacts, lowering production costs, and enabling the transition toward a circular bioeconomy.
This Special Issue aims to compile high-quality research on the digging, optimization, engineering, and application of industrial microbes and enzymes for biotechnological and industrial processes. By focusing on both fundamental and applied studies, this Special Issue will provide insights into novel strategies for strain improvement, enzyme design, metabolic engineering, and bioprocess optimization. The topic aligns with the journal’s scope of advancing sustainable and innovative biotechnological solutions.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are both welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Microbial strain development and metabolic engineering;
- Enzyme discovery, engineering, and immobilization;
- Bioprocess optimization and scale-up;
- Applications in biofuels, bioremediation, and green chemistry;
- Synthetic biology tools for industrial microorganisms;
- Computational modeling of microbial and enzyme systems.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Yunjun Yan

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. Biomolecules 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.
