Abstract
Fungal peroxygenases are promising biocatalysts for hydroxylation steps in various industry-relevant synthesis pathways. In this application note we describe a bioprocess for the production of unspecific peroxygenase (UPO) in Pichia pastoris. The process was divided in four phases, with different carbon requirements. Precise timing of culture feeding was crucial for optimal cell growth and protein expression. We demonstrate how the automation of culture feeding reduced manual work as well as the risk of process failure due to operator error.
