Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Monitoring environmental health is crucial to ensure viability in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. To study negative effects on ecosystems, plants and microorganisms are especially useful biological indicators. This Special Issue of Microorganisms will thus present research on these environmental indicators, including topics of interaction between plants and microorganisms, microbial activity, variances in genotypes and phenotypes among microbial communities, the contamination accumulation potential of microbes, and variance in the biochemical parameters of plants and microorganisms. Studies focusing on negative activities and their effects on plants and microorganisms, biomonitoring, bioindication, biochemical parameters, and phytoremediation 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. Microorganisms 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.
