Trends in Yeast Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic Collection is a continuation of our previous Special Issue: “Trends in Yeast Biochemistry and Biotechnology”.

At present, yeasts are indispensable microorganisms for studies in biochemistry and biotechnology. Yeasts are important microorganisms not only as a eukaryote model in basic biology but also as a powerful producer of recombinant proteins and physiologically active compounds in the pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, basic and applied research using yeasts are connected to each other, and the significance of knowledge exchange between both research fields is receiving attention. To open a door to future yeast biochemistry and biotechnology, we hope that researchers using yeasts in their studies will submit a research paper or review article to this Topic Collection.

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. 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-anonymized 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.
