Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Yeasts have gained attention as probiotics and postbiotics due to their ability to improve gut health and modulate the microbiota. Their use has expanded in research and the food industry, standing out for their effectiveness in treating various gastrointestinal disorders. Yeasts as probiotics and postbiotics represent a promising area of research and application in health and biotechnology. Their stability, safety, and ability to produce beneficial metabolites position them as viable and effective alternatives to traditional probiotic bacteria.
For this reason, Journal of Fungi wishes to launch a Special Issue titled “Yeasts with Probiotic and Postbiotic Potential”. Authors are encouraged to submit research articles and reviews on the genomics of probiotic yeasts; mechanisms of action of beneficial properties; in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies; different sources of isolation of yeasts with potential; evaluations of postbiotic fractions; applications in functional foods; and alternatives for the market presentation of probiotic and postbiotic yeasts.

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.
