Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The microbiome represents the entire collection of microbes that play a critical role in the host–environment complex. Investigating the interactions between the microbiome, host, and environment and their impact on host biological mechanisms reveals new pathways or indications for monitoring health and disease. These new pathways can largely expand the big data obtained from the microbiome. Scientists may apply machine learning to analyze these microbiome data and develop next-generation therapeutics such as digital therapeutics (DTx). DTx delivers evidence-based software-driven therapeutics which can be used to create new formulas for personalized medicine in humans. DTx has also been used to accelerate plant disease diagnostics and increase yields. In this Special Issue, we aim to collect the most recent insights in applied microbiome science and technology. We welcome all types of manuscript, including original articles, reviews, and editorials, addressing one or more of the following objectives:
- New pathways in the microbiome–host–environment complex;
- Remote diagnostics for humans (such as telemedicine), plants, or environments;
- Digital therapeutics for the health of humans, plants, or environments.

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.
