Achieving a circular bioeconomy demands cell factories that not only avoid fossil inputs but also valorize waste streams and recycle carbon at every stage. This collection focuses on metabolic‑engineering innovations that close the loop—from upcycling lignin, plastics, and industrial off‑gases to integrating bioprocesses with renewable‑energy and chemical‑recycling systems. We invite contributions that transform renewable carbon feedstock into high‑value chemicals, fuels, and biomaterials, thereby turning recycled carbon into economic opportunity.

What is this collection about?

The collection comprises review articles and original research articles. Review articles will be by invitation only. Prospective authors may contact the guest editors to consult about the suitability of their manuscript for the scope of SI and also for a formal invitation. Research articles can be submitted by anyone. All submissions will be subject to the same peer review and editorial processes as regular Systems Microbiology and Biomanufacturing articles.

Guest Editors:

Prof. Sung Kuk Lee, Schools of Energy & Chemical Engineering and Life Sciences, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, Ulsan, South Korea

Prof. Yu Wang, Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tianjin, China

Dr. Rodrigo Ledesma‑Amaro, Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London, UK

Timeline:

 To open: 1st September 2025

 To close: 31st January 2026

What is this journal about?

Systems Microbiology and Biomanufacturing is a platform for high-quality research in the interdisciplinary areas of industrial microbiology and biomanufacturing process development.

  • Hybrid journal with free online publication or OA options
  • Indexed in ESCl | Scopus | EI | CSCD
  • IF 2024: 2.9, Q2 in Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology

Topics include Industrial Microbiology and Biomanufacturing, Systems Metabolic Engineering, Synthetic Biology, Protein Engineering, Biorefineries and Waste Biotechnology, and so on.

Why submit to a collection?

Collection manuscripts typically see higher citations, downloads, and Altmetric scores, and provide a one-stop shop on a cutting-edge topic of interest.
