Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the global pursuit of carbon neutrality, using microorganisms to remove environmental pollutants represents a key pathway to reducing carbon emissions and saving energy. This requires not only expanding microbial treatment technologies as an alternative to some energy-intensive physicochemical processes but also further improving the efficiency of microbial treatment methods, and, even better, achieving resource recovery and energy generation benefits. These advances are inseparable from an expanded understanding of the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms underlying microbial pollutant removal.
This Special Issue covers a broad range of topics on microbial treatment of pollutants that (potentially) contribute to saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. You are invited to submit manuscripts (original articles, as well as critical reviews) focusing on the physiological and biochemical properties of efficient microorganisms, as well as the molecular mechanisms involved in pollutant removal.

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 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.
