Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microalgae–bacteria hold exclusive predominance for coupling engineering application with bioenergy production. Large-scale application is highly dependent on the interaction mechanism between microalgae and bacteria. Meanwhile, the distinctive photosynthesis endows this technology advantages of carbon neutrality, and fulfills the sustainable development goals for future society. Thus, we urgently encourage recent progress and advanced techniques to be published in this issue. Excellent and novel investigations are also welcome in this Special Issue, on topics including microalgae–bacteria interaction mechanisms, microalgal biotechnology, engineering application, etc.
Submissions, including review articles, letters and research articles, are welcome, on topics related but not limited to the following:
- Bioenergy production of microalgae–bacteria consortia;
- Efficient processing and successful technologies for a high yield of bioenergy production;
- Interaction mechanism between microalgae and bacteria during biotechnological application;
- Genetic engineering/gene editing of microalgae for biorefinery purposes.
- Novel or hybrid reactor configurations for engineering application via the microalgae–bacteria consortia.
- Life cycle or techno-economic analysis for microalgae–bacteria biotechnology application.

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. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
