By consolidating formation-stage steps that are traditionally separated, OPB can lower capital intensity and reduce intermediate losses. It may also improve carbon utilization under specific conditions compared with conventional modular biorefineries optimized around a single product. Despite these advantages, OPB has yet to achieve robust scalability. This review examines the dynamic processes governing biomass fractionation into individual constituents and biocatalytic transformation in single-reactor systems. It synthesizes recent advances in metabolic engineering, process intensification, and dynamic flux control to assess how biological network behavior, thermodynamic feasibility, and reactor-scale transport phenomena jointly constrain feasible product combinations within integrated one-pot systems. Persistent limitations arising from metabolic trade-offs, physicochemical incompatibilities, and increasing control complexity are evaluated alongside emerging enabling strategies, including dynamic metabolic regulation, hybrid one-pot architectures, and digital bioprocess twins. This work provides a data-informed framework indicating that effective one-pot bioprocess design depends on aligning biological compatibility, control capacity, and operational robustness to support adaptive and anticipatory control of multiproduct formation dynamics.</p>","PeriodicalId":9024,"journal":{"name":"Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147833232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abnormalities in protein glycosylation can manifest in life-threatening conditions, such as cancer. N-glycan analysis is crucial for determining the underlying cause of disease. The characterization of N-linked glycans is achieved through the removal of the carbohydrate moiety using deglycosylating enzymes. Peptide-N-glycosidase F (PNGase F) is a glycoamidase that hydrolyzes the amide bond in glycosamide by specifically cleaving at the innermost N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). Although PNGase F has significant therapeutic applications, its widespread commercial use is limited by its high cost. This study focused on heterologous expression of Flavobacterium meningosepticum PNGase F in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and SHuffle<sup>®</sup> cells, in which the protein was partially soluble. The E. coli SHuffle<sup>®</sup> cells yielded 210.41 mg/L of PNGase F in TB glycerol medium in shake flasks, with a corresponding Y<sub>P/X</sub> of 47.20 mg/g DCW. Expression studies in E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells yielded inclusion bodies (IBs) that were solubilized, yielding activity comparable to that of the soluble form. Furthermore, the fed-batch cultivation in E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells produced 5.87 g/L of IBs with a final OD<sub>600</sub> of 176. Therefore, this study investigates the potential of alternative E. coli hosts as cost-effective production platforms for PNGase F.</p>","PeriodicalId":9024,"journal":{"name":"Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147810807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although this yeast is well known for carotenoid synthesis, its potential for lipid accumulation remains largely unexplored. In this study, oil production by P. rhodozyma was evaluated using soybean molasses as the sole carbon source. The yeast was cultured in a 5 L bench-scale bioreactor (100 g·L⁻¹ substrate, 300 rpm, 1 vvm, 25°C) and the biomass was subsequently spouted bed drying. Lipids were extracted following the Bligh and Dyer method. After 144 h, 12.59 g.L⁻¹ of biomass was obtained, containing 154.23 µg·g⁻¹ of astaxanthin and 85.91 µg·g⁻¹ of β-carotene. Lipid yield reached 34.9% (w.w<sup>- 1</sup>), corresponding to a C/N ratio of 44.39 in the cultivation medium. Fatty acid analysis revealed a predominance of oleic acid (66.98%), with a saturated/unsaturated ratio of 0.24, iodine value of 74 g.I<sub>2</sub>.100 g⁻¹, saponification value of 161 mg KOH.g⁻¹, acidity of 5.02 mg KOH.g⁻¹, and peroxide value of 3.19 mEq O₂.kg⁻¹. These results demonstrate the potential of P. rhodozyma cultivated on soybean molasses to produce microbial oil with high nutritional and functional value, favorable lipid composition, and oxidative stability, highlighting the need for optimization strategies in the oil recovery step to enable future applications in the food industry.</p>","PeriodicalId":9024,"journal":{"name":"Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147688111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
