    Special Issue Description


    Dear Collegues,



    The review compiles information comparing the intracellular hydrocarbons of various microorganisms (cyanobacteria, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, yeasts, and mycelial fungi). Cyanobacteria are unique in their capacity to create 7- and 8-methylheptadecane, whereas photosynthetic bacteria are characterized by the production of cyclic hydrocarbons, although long-chain hydrocarbons are more common in fungi.
    Certain systematic groups of microorganisms are characterized by specific compositions of intracellular hydrocarbons. Microorganisms' ability to synthesize hydrocarbons depends in large part on the growth conditions that allow for the physiological control of that process. Explanatory examples are provided for the microbiological processes involved in the generation of extracellular aliphatic and volatile non-methane hydrocarbons.
    There are described biosynthetic pathways for volatile non-methane hydrocarbons, isoprenoids, and straight-chain, branched, and volatile non-methane hydrocarbons. Different microorganisms seem to have unique mechanisms for synthesizing hydrocarbons.

    Manuscript Submission information


    Manuscripts should be submitted online by registering and logging in to this link. 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 on email address:[email protected] 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.
