Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The optimization of fermentation processes to produce biomass, fuels, and chemicals has always faced challenges. The current state of the art highlights the complexity of achieving success in all areas of fermentation, emphasizing that success cannot be achieved without first applying methods that isolate and identify microorganisms from habitats or communities or improve the function of existing microorganisms. Notably, special attention will be given to the following:
- Manuscripts on the identification of microorganisms by target amplification methods and nucleic acid sequence analysis;
- Nanoparticles as a tool to enhance mass transfer processes and metabolic control during fermentation;
- Innovative culturing techniques to facilitate fermentation processes;
- The development of subsystem techniques involving microbial kinetics, liquid flow distribution in bioreactors, and heat and mass transfers.
Additionally, manuscripts containing innovative models, response surface analysis, and artificial intelligence-based neural networks to facilitate and improve process design, optimization, control, and large-scale applications are welcome.

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. Fermentation 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 2100 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.
