Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biotechnological tools are progressively improving our capacity to confront environmental pollution by advancing the biological mechanisms that govern the transformation, detoxification, and removal of contaminants. This Special Issue, “Emerging Trends of Biotechnology in Bioremediation and Biodegradation,” aims to compile recent progress that expands the conceptual and methodological foundations of biological remediation. We welcome studies introducing novel analytical approaches, mechanistic insights, technological developments, and integrative strategies that elucidate biodegradation pathways and optimize their performance across diverse environmental matrices. By gathering contributions from complementary scientific domains, this Special Issue seeks to identify emerging research trajectories in environmental biotechnology and promote the development of robust, scalable, and sustainable bioremediation solutions.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
