As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.

Announcing the launch of In Review
Microbial Cell Factories, in partnership with Research Square, is now offering In Review. Authors choosing this free optional service will be able to:
- Share their work with fellow researchers to read, comment on, and cite even before publication
- Showcase their work to funders and others with a citable DOI while it is still under review
- Track their manuscript - including seeing when reviewers are invited, and when reports are received
Open article collections
Production of new antimicrobials
Research towards antimicrobial molecules as alternatives to antibiotics using microbial cell factories as expression systems.
A collection that investigates alternative scaffolds to nanobodies as binding agents.
A focus topic on engineering microbial co-cultures (consortia) and their metabolic capabilities.
Applications of oleaginous fungi
A cross-journal collection on the biotechnological uses of lipid rich fungi.
