Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the present era of transformation, there is a directive focus on progressive and forward-oriented industrial and basic research, particularly in the fields of biotechnology and industrial bioprocesses. Microorganisms are poised to play a crucial role in this transition, serving as key drivers of technological advancements. Their genomes hold the potential and necessary information for the development of sustainable biotechnology on a global scale. Microbial biotechnology involves the utilization of the capabilities of microorganisms to develop innovative solutions for industrial applications. It involves the use of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and algae, to produce valuable products or carry out specific processes that benefit various industries. The field of microbial biotechnology continues to evolve and innovate, driven by advances in genetic engineering, synthetic biology, and high-throughput screening technologies. These advancements enable scientists to engineer microorganisms with tailored properties and develop new applications in diverse industries.
