Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Food microbiology involves the study and investigation of microorganisms with a non-negligible impact on foods, with either harmful or beneficial activities. Among the tools that can be used for this purpose, during the last decade, genomics and proteomics have considerably developed and applied to this field. Genomics and proteomics can be used for revealing the physiologic status of microorganisms as well as their response to stress and further adaptation in relation to different food nutritional and environmental atmospheres, as well as their interaction with other competitive microbiota.

This Special Issue looks forward to receiving contributions in the food microbiology area that have required the use of genomics and proteomics to investigate the effect of food constituents and environments on the ecology and adaptation of different microorganisms including:

  • Foodborne pathogens
  • Microorganisms with technological properties
  • Probiotics
  • Microorganisms producers of antifungal/antibacterial compounds
  • Mechanisms of action of antifungal/antibacterial compounds
  • Toxin producers
  • Protective cultures

This Special Issue intends to highlight the importance of the application of genomics and proteomics in food microbiology to enhance the sensory and nutritional quality of any foodstuffs as well as food safety and biosecurity by increasing knowledge of mechanisms of adaptation, competition, or bioactive compounds production of the target microorganisms.

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. Biology 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.
