Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microorganisms and their interactions are vital in biogeochemical and nutrient cycling, supporting all forms of life in this sense. In recent years the study of microbial communities, properly in the field of microbial ecology, has been nourished by novel approaches, namely genomics, metagenomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc. They provide new insights into microbiomes’ structure and function, signaling metabolites' involvement, and the fate of specific microbial populations, among other topics, of the comprehensive set of microbial interactions occurring in natural, artificial, or man-influenced ecosystems.
This Special Issue is intended to harbor research papers on any topic of microbial ecology that have been carried out using mainly an omic methodological approach. Review papers within this profile are also welcome; please send an intention letter on the selected topic. The Special Issue is open, but not restricted to, the following topics:
- Plant–microbiome interactions;
- Microbial communities in extreme or nearly extreme environments;
- Insect microbiome and ecology;
- Microbial diversity in pristine and contaminated environments;
- Aquatic and soil microbial diversity and ecology;
- Microbial interactions in the rumen;
- Human GIT microbiota.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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. Microorganisms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
