Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To mitigate climate change and achieve the carbon emission reductions set by the Paris Agreement, the low-carbon wastewater treatment process should be the future direction of water pollution control development. Due to the characteristics of algae and bacteria in terms of low energy consumption, high contaminants removal and carbon emission reduction, algae-bacteria consortia treatment is a promising green method for the treatment of wastewater and remediation of aqueous systems. However, several challenges need to be addressed to further promote the development of algae and bacteria consortia treatment technology.
Therefore, this Special Issue of Water on the ‘Green Low-Carbon Wastewater Treatment of Algae–Bacteria Consortia’ welcomes original research and review manuscripts that focus on the algae–bacteria consortia treatment.
Research may include, but is not limited to, the following areas of interest:
- Screening of dominant functional algae and bacteria;
- Development of light bio-carriers with strong adsorption capacity;
- Construction of harmonious algae–bacteria consortia with rapid and stable pollutant removal;
- Nitrogen and phosphorous biological removal from wastewater;
- Bioremediation of polluted waters and eutrophication control using the algae–bacteria consortia;
- Complex interactions between algae and bacteria in ecological niche environments;
- Biochemical signaling and quorum sensing between algae and bacteria;
- Integrating advanced treatment techniques with algae–bacteria consortia to increase the sustainability and applicability of treatment processes;
- Optimization of the algae–bacteria consortia treatment process using mathematical and numerical modeling

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. Water 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 2600 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.
