Gut Mycobiome, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will be dedicated to the gut mycobiome and there are many distinct types of fungi in the human gut, all playing an important role in host health. The term “mycobiome” refers to the community of fungi present in the digestive system and recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology have enabled us to catalogue its enormous diversity. Despite the fact that research on the gut mycobiome is still in its early stages, some findings have shown that it may play a significant role in host homeostasis and disease development. However, its particular mechanism of action remains mostly unknown and studied. This Special Issue attempts to examine recent breakthroughs in research on the gut mycobiome from many aspects. This includes studying the variety of gut fungi, as well as how the gut mycobiome influences host defense and the gut–brain axis. Furthermore, we discussed how diet may impact the gut mycobiome by regulating interactions between fungi and bacteria. The research of the gut mycobiome is fascinating and any new findings are welcome.

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 Fungi 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.
