The most important challenges in terms of enzyme production and stability, controlled electrochemical generation of cosubstrates, in situ product removal and semi-continuous operability were addressed. Robust UPO expression and downstream strategies enabled continuous operation, while detailed kinetic characterisation showed that a precise balance between substrate and hydrogen peroxide concentrations is required to prevent oxidative inactivation. Immobilised UPO such as His-tag, Twin-Strep-labelled and YSD (yeast surface display) variants, achieved high activity retention and operational stability in fluidised bed systems, enabling longer reaction cycles and simplified product recovery.enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/enzyme catalysisunspecific peroxygenase (UPO)biotechnologybubble columnTechnology::660: Chemistry; Chemical Engineering::660.6: BiotechnologyEnzyme and reaction engineering of unspecific peroxygenase driven hydroxylation of butane (BUPOx)Report10.15480/882.18006
