Dear Colleagues,

The microbiome is an essential component of nature and a prolific resource to address current and recent environmental concerns. Most recent innovations have focused on identifying microbiomes that have the potential to promote sustainable food, feed, and biofuel production while supporting circularity principles. For example, omics approaches have been used to identify detoxification/metabolic pathways of contaminants in the environment and to transform waste into valuable resources for a healthy environment. Advanced techniques using microbial technology, synthetic biology, and genetic engineering are being recognized for innovation in the food industry to revolutionize food systems while adhering to sustainable development goals. This is also well recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and has underlined the importance of microbiomes in developing environmentally sustainable technologies.

This Special Issue of Biotech, titled "Microbial Technologies in Remediation, Resource Recovery and Sustainability", intends to examine the major elements of microbial-based technological innovations that address environmental concerns using circularity concepts. The scope of the Special Issue includes a wide variety of studies on microbes that turn waste into resources for a sustainable environment. All scholars, industries, and professionals are encouraged to submit research/review articles for consideration in this Special Issue.

Please share and feel free to contact if you are keen to submit your work.

The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1400 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.
