Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microorganisms play a crucial role in diverse ecosystems and drive numerous innovations in science and industry. With the rapid advancement of biotechnology, microbial applications have expanded beyond their traditional use in food, agriculture, and medicine, now being utilized in environmental remediation, bioenergy, synthetic biology, nanotechnology, and even space exploration. This Special Issue, “Exploring the Diversity of Microbial Applications”, aims to highlight the latest breakthroughs and emerging trends in microbial research across multiple disciplines. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and case studies that focus on novel microbial strains, engineered microorganisms, microbiome analysis, and their applications in sustainable development, health, agriculture, and industrial processes. We particularly seek interdisciplinary studies that bridge microbiology with environmental science, materials science, and systems biology. By compiling contributions from scholars worldwide, this Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of microbial potential in addressing real-world challenges and inspire future innovations in microbial technology.
