Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues
The use of fermentative processes has its origins in antiquity when fermented foods were initially produced, and since then, it has been associated with a massive number of commercial compounds with diverse complexity and prices such as bioethanol, organic acids, enzymes, vaccines, and therapeutic proteins. Fermentation processes are progressing at an incredible pace, and every year, new products are added to the list of compounds derived from fermentation.
Industrial fermentation operations utilize microbial, animal and plant cells to manufacture essential products for several industries such as food, chemical, and pharmaceutical. The basic industrial principles and process design are similar in all applications; however, the adaptation of the biological, engineering, economic, and environmental aspects required for each compound is a fundamental point of industrial fermentation.
A successful industrial fermentation process requires a multidisciplinary team to couple the biological principles and the engineering concepts to develop and scale up fermentative processes. This multidisciplinary team is involved in isolating and manipulating the microorganisms or proteins required for the industrial production, culture media and growth conditions, bioreactor design, and the establishment of the best methods and conditions for bioproduct recovery.
The aim of this Special Issue is to include innovative research results and review articles associated with all the phases related to industrial fermentation, microorganism isolation and modification for industrial applications, culture media and condition optimization, bioreactor design and bioreactor operational conditions, separation engineering, and bioproduct recovery.

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.
