The development of pectinase-based bioprocesses has been found to promote sustainable industrial practices by reducing the use of chemicals, energy, and waste, thereby supporting eco-friendly production systems. The unique aspect of this review is that it explains traditional methods of pectinase production alongside novel methods, which include solid-state and submerged fermentation, recombinant DNA techniques, heterologous gene expression, protein engineering, CRISPR/Cas genome editing technologies, enzyme immobilization, and nanobiotechnological methods, which improve the production, stability, and performance of pectinases.

Besides an enhancement of volumetric productivity and high cell viability, the product quality can be improved through a steady-state environment. However, the establishment of such a process intensification method using stirred tank bioreactors (STRs) for cultivations at very high cell concentrations (> 50 × 10<sup>6</sup> cells mL<sup>−1</sup>) can be challenging. In particular, limitations in the oxygen supply, CO<sub>2</sub> stripping, high viscosity, and excessive foam formation can impede cell viability and product yields. In this study, we investigated a novel membrane-stirrer (MemStir) based bioreactor that employs multiple hollow-fiber membrane sheets arranged in a device that facilitates efficient gas transfer through bubble-free diffusion for HCD cultivations. We found that the oxygen transfer rates at different tip speeds and gas flow rates resulted in volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa) values of 10–30 h<sup>−1</sup> enabling sufficient oxygen supply to support concentrations exceeding 50 × 10<sup>6</sup> cells mL<sup>−1</sup>. The functionality of the membrane-stirrer was benchmarked in batch mode against shake flasks and a conventional STR equipped with a pitched-blade impeller and an <span>l</span>-drilled hole sparger. Suspension growth of a human embryonic kidney 293 LTV (HEK-LTV) cell in the MemStir system was comparable to the cell growth in a STR. Using pure oxygen for aeration, a maximum viable cell concentration of 7.6 × 10<sup>6</sup> cells mL<sup>−1</sup> was achieved. As a starting point for further optimization, we investigated the impact of the MemStir system on viable cell concentration, cell viability, dissolved oxygen partial pressure, pH control and foam formation in HCD cultivations in perfusion mode. Using the MemStir system equipped with an alternating tangential flow system, HEK-LTV cells reached concentrations of up to 92 × 10<sup>6</sup> cells mL<sup>−1</sup> with a specific growth rate of 0.022 h<sup>−1</sup> in perfusion mode. Moreover, controlling the pH in the range 7.0 to 7.3 was easily achieved, and no foam formation was observed.

Hollow fiber modules outperformed the ILDF configuration in terms of buffer consumption and pressure build-up, particularly for higher-titer processes. The GMP hollow fiber modules, which are characterized using protein-based molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) specifications, achieved buffer exchange comparable to the reference processes when using endogenous excipients (histidine, methionine) as tracers, while providing a bioprocess-oriented format and documentation suitable for GMP implementation.

Current purification processes utilize adsorbents that operate in bind-and-elute mode, which limits productivity, and often struggle to remove critical impurities. Addressing these limitations, our team developed a flow-through pseudo-affinity chromatography platform that utilizes size-exclusion resins (Monomix Core 500) functionalized with mixed-mode peptide ligands (AviGuard) to remove process-related impurities while maximizing productivity and product integrity. This study evaluates this technology across three therapeutic modalities: two bi-specific monoclonal antibodies (bsAbs) and an Fc-fusion protein from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell culture fluids, and adeno-associated virus serotypes 2 and 9 (AAV2 and AAV9) from HEK293 cell lysates. For the CHO-derived proteins, the platform comprised a pre-capture step with LigaGuard-Monomix Core 500 resin (LGMC500), a Protein A-based capture step, and a polishing step using a single-use size-exclusion mixed-mode (SEMM) resin.
