Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, many fungi have emerged as pivotal chassis organisms for protein expression. Leveraging diversified biotechnologies such as promoter editing, codon optimization, and protein engineering can effectively enhance the expression efficiency of target proteins and increase industrial output. Mechanistic investigations into protein expression regulation provide critical molecular targets for these optimization paradigms. Valuable protein products can also be produced by organic waste from households or agriculture. This Special Issue aims to address the above hot research topics to produce insights into the green biomanufacturing importance of fungi.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Fungi aims to present state-of-the-art reviews and research articles on the topic of “Advances in Fungal Genomics and Biotechnology: From Codon Optimization to Protein Expression” in order to support sustainable bioproduction.

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. Journal of Fungi 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 2600 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.
