Abstract
Microbial cell surface display systems represent a promising and robust approach for engineering whole-cell biocatalysts, with broad applications in biotechnology and biomedicine. This methodology overcomes limitations in substrate transport, eliminates the laborious and time-consuming process of enzyme purification, and enhances reusability and regenerability in repeated batch processes, thereby delivering economic benefits. Among various host systems, yeast surface display (YSD) offers unique advantages, such as large cell size, ease of culture and genetic manipulation, and the capacity for complete post-translational processing of secreted proteins. This review highlights strategies to improve the efficiency of YSD from novel perspectives, including intracellular molecular transcription, cell surface engineering, and external spatial expansion. Additionally, it comprehensively summarizes the practical applications of YSD in biocatalysis, underscoring their transformative potential in industrial and biomedical contexts.
期刊介绍:
Biotechnological techniques, from fermentation to genetic manipulation, have become increasingly relevant to the food and beverage, fuel production, chemical and pharmaceutical, and waste management industries. Consequently, academic as well as industrial institutions need to keep abreast of the concepts, data, and methodologies evolved by continuing research. This journal provides a forum of critical evaluation of recent and current publications and, periodically, for state-of-the-art reports from various geographic areas around the world. Contributing authors are recognized experts in their fields, and each article is reviewed by an objective expert to ensure accuracy and objectivity of the presentation.
