BMC Environmental Science is calling for submissions to our Collection on the opportunities of microbiome engineering for sustainability.
The study of microbiome engineering and its implications for environmental sustainability has gained significant attention in recent years. This field encompasses the manipulation and optimization of microbial communities to address environmental challenges, such as bioremediation, soil health, and sustainable agriculture. Researchers have explored the potential of microbial consortia, synthetic biology, and bioprocess optimization to develop innovative solutions for environmental sustainability.
Recent advances have demonstrated the capacity of microbial communities to contribute to carbon sequestration, wastewater treatment, and the development of biofertilizers, highlighting the promise of microbiome engineering for sustainable resource management and ecosystem services.
This timely Collection welcomes submissions on:
- Microbiome engineering for bioremediation
- Synthetic biology for environmental sustainability
- Soil health and sustainable agriculture
- Microbial consortia in wastewater treatment
- Bioprocess optimization for renewable resources
- Marine microbiome restoration
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 12: Responsible Consumption & Production, SDG 14: Life Below Water, and SDG 15: Life on Land.
