Bacillus Species and Enzymes

Dear Colleagues,

Gram-positive bacteria of the genus Bacillus are well established industrial microorganisms for the production of enzymes due to their strong capability of protein secretion, being generally regarded as safe organism, non-biased codon usage, well identified biochemical and physiological characteristics, high amenability for molecular operation, rapid growth rate and suitability for large-scale industrial fermentation. In recent decades, many strategies have been used to improve protein expression levels in Bacillus species. These studies have resulted in a basic understanding for efficient protein production, and have provided plentiful information for enhancing its capability of protein production.

The goal of this Special Issue is to publish both recent innovative research results, as well as review papers on the production of enzymes by Bacillus species. Review and research papers on development of novel enzymes are also of interest.

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.
