Progress in Microbial Treatment of Wastewater, Solid Wastes and Waste Gases

Dear Colleagues,

Microbes are key players in biogeochemical cycles due to their functions of macromolecule degradation, compound conversion and element enrichment. Therefore, microbe-based technologies have been developed rapidly to treat wastewater (such as anammox, bioelectrochemical systems and algae-bacteria systems), solid wastes (such as aerobic composting, anaerobic digestion and biofuel production) and waste gases (such as syngas fermentation and microbial electrosynthesis). This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for global researchers to disseminate recent technological developments and engineering solutions in the area of microbial treatment of wastewater, solid wastes and waste gases. Original research articles, critical reviews and perspectives are welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue, where potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Exploitation of microbes as tools for treatment of wastewater, solid wastes and waste gases.
• Mechanism analysis of microbial treatment of wastewater, solid wastes and waste gases, e.g., community structures and functional compositions, activities, and dynamics of microbes in the treatment systems.
• New technologies or processes for microbial treatment of wastewater, solid wastes and waste gases.
• Performance improvement of microbial treatment of wastewater, solid wastes and waste gases based on synthetic biology, new materials, etc.
• Modeling and economic analyses for microbial processes of wastewater treatment, solid waste treatment and waste gas conversion.

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. 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.
