Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Progress in enzymatic biotechnology and biological systems is crucial for building a sustainable and renewable bioeconomy. This Special Issue aims to cover advances in enzymatic biotechnology and biological systems, seeking papers on a variety of topics, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Progress in enzymatic processes;
- Plant biomass valorization;
- Enzymatic catalysis;
- Enzyme engineering;
- Elicitors and Prebiotics;
- Green nanotechnology and its application in agriculture, health and well-being.
Moreover, we welcome papers that explore the development of technology for microbial biofilm enzymatic degradation and microbial fermentation.

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.
