Microbial Cell Factories

Thank you, nice Tsinghua editor, for allowing me to graduate smoothly.
The submission process is as follows:
12.3 submit
12.4 editor assigned
12.4 editor invited
12.5 reviewers invited
12.5 Under Review
12.14 reviews completed
12.21 major revision
The first draft of the paper was rushed and poorly written. There were five reviewers, and the editor and two reviewers found it interesting. One reviewer found it eye-catching, and another reviewer found it valuable. They all pointed out several suggestions for improvement and requested additional control experiments.
After two months of major revisions, the entire paper was basically rewritten. Letpub provided language polishing, and several experiments were added. Only one-third of the control experiments requested by the reviewers were completed due to the excessive number of requests. Afterward, the revised manuscript was submitted.

Upon receiving feedback from the three reviewers, two accepted the paper with minor revisions, and the editor directly accepted it.

After submission, the editor was assigned the next day and the review was sent on the third day. The first reviewer took 15 days to provide feedback. After that, we waited for the second reviewer. After a month and a half, we consulted the editor about the review process. At that time, they said they couldn't find a second reviewer and asked us to wait longer. After one day, based on the comments from the first reviewer, we were given the opportunity to make major revisions and supplement experiments. It took another half a month to revise and resubmit. After the revision, it was accepted in 8 days. If the reviewers were found faster, it wouldn't have taken so long. I hope the journal will continue to improve.
