An Official Journal of Shandong University Engineering Microbiology is a peer reviewed, open access journal. All Article Publishing Charge (APC) fees for accepted articles will be covered. In addition, any required language editing fees will be covered for all accepted articles.
Engineering Microbiology is dedicated to publishing rigorously peer-reviewed, high-quality original research papers that make significant, important, and novel contribution in the methodology, theory, mechanism, and application of engineering microbes (archaea, bacteria, eukaryotic microbes, viruses) with an ultimate goal of improving microbes for practical applications. Papers describing the improvement of microbial communities and microbial cellular and biochemical components (such as enzymes) are also welcome. Papers describing fundamental microbial biology that do not see an eventual application potential are not in the scope of the journal.
Engineering Microbiology covers fields including but not limited to:
Microbial methodology and technology
Microbial cell engineering
Genetic engineering
Metabolic engineering
Enzyme engineering
Microbial synthetic biology
Microbial engineering for natural products and bulk/fine chemicals
Medical and pharmaceutical microbiology and biotechnology
Microbiota engineering
Environmental microbial engineering
Microbial genome editing technology
Engineering of microbial regulatory networks
Theories for microbial engineering
Bioinformatics and computational analysis of microbial engineering

Shandong University, or SDU – under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education – is a key comprehensive university with a long and honorable history, a broad variety of disciplines, strong academic strength and distinctive characteristics, which has had a great influence both at home and abroad. In 2017, the SDU was chosen as one of the first group of China's high-level universities to be listed in the double first-class university program released by the central government of China.
Shandong University has developed by leaps and bounds in recent years. At present, 18 subjects have been listed in the top one percent of subjects in the Essential Science Indicators (ESI), an index showing the competitiveness of a subject published by the Institute for Scientific Information. In addition, five of the university’s subjects – chemistry, engineering, material sciences, clinical medicine, pharmacology and toxicology – were listed in the top 1‰ in the ESI rankings. SDU has also established cooperation with nearly 200 universities in more than 30 countries or regions.
