Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The production of functional and flavor-rich food and beverages using microbial fermentation is an ancient technology. Over the last century, fermentation science has achieved significant development, particularly in the use of microbial factories to produce various foods and beverages, as well as other industrially and medically important products, including enzymes, biofuels, and chemicals. Through the years, we have acquired tremendous knowledge on the optimization of fermentation and microbial processes. Since the introduction of different omics technologies (e.g., genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics), fermentation scientists have been utilizing these innovative tools to further our awareness of fermentation technologies, particularly with the aim to improve product yield and quality in a sustainable manner. Recent developments in analytical instrumentations and data analysis platforms allow us to integrate data generated across different omics approaches to gain holistic knowledge on the different biological and biochemical processes involved in fermentation.
This Special Issue aims to publish research, reviews, and perspective articles that focus on the application of different omics technologies, as well as the integration of omics in a wide range of microbial fermentation processes (e.g., food, beverages, chemical, enzymes, biofuels, etc.). Any research that employed metabolomics, transcriptomics, genomics, proteomics, flavoromics, and lipidomics will be taken into consideration for publication. In addition, we also invite review and perspective articles that discuss the benefits, drawbacks, bottlenecks, trends, data interpretation, and future outlook of using multi-omics approaches in different areas of fermentation science.

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. Metabolites 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 2700 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.
