Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new Special Issue on “Critical Reviews in Natural Products and Enzymes from Marine Organisms” which aims to provide an open-access forum for peer-reviewed review papers. In this Special Issue, natural products and enzymes include their chemical structures, biosynthetic pathways, relevant enzymes, and genes, as well as molecular regulation mechanisms of the synthetic pathways, enzyme structures, evolutions and functions. Marine organisms include marine animals, algae, filamentous fungi, yeasts, eubacteria, actinomyces, archaeobacteria and cyanobacteria. In addition, the reviews on their potential applications in medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, cosmetic and chemical industries are also included.

The types of articles considered (https://0-www-mdpi-com.brum.beds.ac.uk/journal/jmse/instructions) include reviews and systematic reviews providing concise and precise updates on the latest progress made in their area of research.

Prof. Dr. Zhenming Chi
Guest Editor

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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 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.

Quorum sensing in the phycosphere refers to a sensor system in which bacteria secrete bioactive compounds to coordinate group behavior relying on cell density. It is an important way for algae and bacteria to communicate with each other and achieve interactions. It has been determined that quorum sensing is widely presented in the marine phycosphere, which involves a variety of bioactive compounds. Focused on these compounds in marine phycosphere, this review summarizes the types and structures of the compounds, describes the methods in detection and functional evaluation, discusses the ecological functions regulated by the compounds, such as modulating microbial colonization, achieving algae–bacteria mutualism or competition and contributing to marine biogeochemical cycles. Meanwhile, the application prospects of the compounds are also proposed, including controlling harmful algal blooms and producing biofuel. Future research should focus on improving detection techniques, developing more model systems and investigating the effects of climate change on the quorum-sensing pathway to further understand the mechanism and application potential of quorum sensing compounds. This review aims to present an overview of current research carried out in order to provide the reader with perspective on bioactive compounds involved in quorum sensing. Full article
