Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Algae and microalgae, spanning both eukaryotic and prokaryotic domains, showcase a remarkable diversity, harboring a plethora of bioactive molecules. Our Special Issue delves deeply into the intricate molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie the biotechnological potential of microalgae. Through cutting-edge research, we aim to unravel the molecular biology of microalgae, elucidating their physiological processes, metabolic pathways and genetic regulation.
By dissecting the molecular intricacies governing the unique biochemical capabilities of microalgae, such as photosynthesis and bioactive compound synthesis, researchers will provide invaluable insights into their applications across various industries. From biofuel production to pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and wastewater treatment, the versatile applications of microalga biotechnology will be underscored.
We warmly welcome submissions and aim to provide a platform for communication and collaboration among researchers and practitioners in the field. Leveraging molecular and cellular insights, this Special Issue promises to offer a holistic perspective on the biotechnological exploitation of microalgae, fostering invaluable knowledge exchange for all stakeholders.
Dr. Angel Llamas

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
