Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microbiomics is revolutionizing both the environmental and biomedical fields. In wastewater treatment, it enables the development of advanced microbial consortia for efficient degradation of pollutants and recovery of bioenergy. Simultaneously, in biomedical applications, microbiome research is uncovering the critical roles of microbial communities in human health and disease, particularly in oncology—where the cancer microbiome emerges as a promising source of therapeutic targets. Multi-omics approaches help decode complex microbial interactions and functions in these diverse ecosystems. This integrated perspective highlights the potential of microbiome-based technologies for sustainable wastewater remediation and innovative medical treatments. This Special Issue welcomes the following themes: 1. Water treatment based on microbiome technology. 2. Genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics of contaminant degradation in wastewater remediation and biomedical applications. We invite investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that will stimulate the continuing efforts to utilize microbiomics in wastewater remediation and biomedical applications.

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. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
