I can't currently find Sciencedomain international on Beall's list anymore. Does it mean they are no longer predatory????

I recommend SCIENCEDOMAIN International journals, particularly British Microbiology Research Journal. They have a critically constructive peer review that will make your published work more standardized.
The cost of publication is attractive for the new authors. Check this website: http://sciencedomain.org/

People interested in an update on predatory journals, following the cessation of Beall's List updates and it's removal, might like to refer to an article in today's Times Higher Education (6 April 2017, pp. 42 & 43), reporting work by Larissa Shamseer and David Moher (link below but access may be restricted to subscribers).
Their study resulted in a list of 13 warning signs:
1. The scope of interest includes non-biomedical subjects alongside biomedical topics, or multiple, wide-ranging and unrelated fields of study are combined
2. The website contains spelling and grammar errors
3, Images are distorted/fuzzy, intended to look like something they are not, or are unauthorised
4.The home page language targets authors rather than readers
5, The Index Copernicus Value is promoted on the website
6.  Description of the manuscript handling process is lacking
7.   Manuscripts are requested to be submitted via email
8.   Rapid publication is promised
9.   There is no retraction policy
10.   Information on whether and how journal content will be digitally preserved Is absent
11. The article processing/publication charge is very low (eg, <$150)
12. Journals claiming to be open access either retain copyright of published research or fail to mention copyright
13.  The contact email address is non-professional and non-journal affiliated (eg, @gmail.com or @yahoo.com)
