Abstract: Microbiome engineering is an emerging interdisciplinary field that systematically investigates and applies engineering methods to uncover the functions, structures, and interaction mechanisms of microbial communities with their environments, offering critical insights into global challenges. To showcase the latest advancements and achievements in this field, Chinese Journal of biotechnology has specially organized a special issue, inviting experts and scholars from multiple domestic institutions to elaborate on the practical applications and potential of microbiome engineering in agriculture and industrial production, environmental and ecological restoration, and health and medical treatment, from perspectives of fundamental research, technological innovation, and engineering applications. Additionally, this issue explores future trends in the field, providing valuable references to promote innovation and contribute to the sustainable development of human society.
