Special Issue on Bioconversion Technologies

Bioconversion Technologies (BCT), also known as biotransformation technologies, refer to the use of live organisms often microorganisms to carry out a chemical reaction that is more costly or not feasible nonbiologically. These technologies convert substance to chemically modified forms or synthesize new material through a series of metabolic pathways. Bioconversion technologies have been used in many areas such as drug modification and synthesis, production of bioenergy, degradation of hazardous material or pollutants etc. Nowadays, with the rapid development of economy, the fuel and environment crisis is increasingly serious, and bioconversion technologies have been widely concerned for its using in these areas. This special issue is providing a platform to share the innovation in the recently developments in Bioconversion Technologies.  

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring bioconversion technologies. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Biological fermentation
• Bio-treatment of waste effluents
• Biodegradation of hazardous material
• Production of biofuel
• Enzyme or metabolic pathway study of BT

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue – Bioconversion Technologies” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
