Bioactive Compounds from Mangroves and Their-Associated Microbes

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue is to demonstrate the importance of some mangroves and mangrove-derived microbes as a source of novel compounds.

Endophytic microbes, such as fungi, bacteria, and actinomycetes, can produce a variety of natural products, which are structurally unique and possess interesting biological and pharmacological activities. Owing to the specific ecological circumstances of mangroves, related endophytes have to cope with both terrestrial and marine environments, resulting in a great microbial diversity and metabolism specificity.

This Special Issue will focus on the recent research progresses in these interrelated disciplines. As a Guest Editor for this Special Issue of Marine Drugs, I invite you to submit your research findings on the mangroves and mangrove-associated microbes including those from the mangrove sediment ranging from the isolation and structure elucidation of new marine natural products to the mechanism studies of the novel bioactive compounds in this area.

Prof. Dr. Hee Jae Shin
Guest Editor

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. Marine Drugs 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 2900 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.
