Fungal Applications in Bioenergy, Bioremediation, Biomedicine, Biocontrol, and Biomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

As one of the most diverse eukaryotic kingdoms on the earth, fungi show unique capacities in biomass degradation, efficient protein synthesis and secretion, and various secondary metabolic activities. Numerous fungi have been widely studied and explored for routine and industrial applications. With the excavation of a new strain of resources and advanced molecular engineering, fungi present unlimited potential in the future bioeconomic era.

This Special Issue will cover some recent advances in fungal applications in bioenergy, bioremediation, biomedicine, biocontrol, and biomaterials. The issue’s scope focuses on, but is not limited to:

• Fungal degradation of xenobiotics for bioremediation
• Fungal lignocellulosic degradation and waste conversion
• Heterologous protein expression and secretion
• Metabolic engineering for chemical compounds biosynthesis
• Microbial interactions for biocontrol
• Novel technologies to develop biomaterials with fungi
• Explore new fungal strain for advanced application

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. 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.
