Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cyanobacteria are ancient organisms that inhabit all types of ecosystems and have developed complex strategies to adapt to an ever-changing environment. Adaptation responses often begin with the perception of extracellular stimuli, triggering signaling cascades, which in turn lead to changes in the transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome. These changes regulate different cellular processes that ultimately allow microorganisms to adjust to environmental changes. In recent years, our knowledge of cyanobacterial signal transduction systems has increased tremendously through the application of different omics technologies, as well as advanced microscopic technics. Protein function and structural analysis have revealed the great potential of the metabolic and cellular adaptation mechanisms of cyanobacteria towards external signals, uncovering how they perceive and transduce stimuli.
As the guest editors of this Special Issue of Microorganisms, Sofía Doello and Khaled Selim invite researchers from around the world to share their advances in the understanding of the regulatory networks controlling cyanobacterial cellular physiology. This includes original research and review articles concerning the role of second messengers, transcriptional regulators, sensing and regulatory proteins, and protein post-translational modifications (e.g., phosphorylation) in signal transduction and metabolic control.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Microorganisms 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.
