Currently, biomanufacturing technology and industry are receiving worldwide attention. However, there are still great challenges on bioprocess optimization and scale-up, including: lacing the process detection methods, which makes it difficult to meet the requirement of monitoring of key indicators and parameters; poor understanding of cell metabolism, which arouses problems to rationally achieve process optimization and regulation; the reactor environment is very different across the scales, resulting in low efficiency of stepwise scale-up. Considering the above key issues that need to be resolved, here we summarize the key technological innovations of the whole chain of fermentation process, i.e., real-time detection-dynamic regulation-rational scale-up, through case analysis. In the future, bioprocess design will be guided by a full lifecycle in-silico model integrating cellular physiology (spatiotemporal multiscale metabolic models) and fluid dynamics (CFD models). This will promote computer-aided design and development, accelerate the realization of large-scale intelligent production and serve to open a new era of green biomanufacturing.
目前,生物制造技术和产业正受到全球关注。然而,生物过程优化和放大仍面临巨大挑战,包括:缺乏过程检测方法,难以满足关键指标和参数监测的要求;对细胞代谢了解不足,难以合理实现过程优化和调控;不同规模下反应器环境差异很大,导致逐步放大效率低下。考虑到上述需要解决的关键问题,在此我们通过案例分析总结发酵过程全链条的关键技术创新,即实时检测-动态调控-合理放大。未来,生物过程设计将由整合细胞生理学(时空多尺度代谢模型)和流体动力学(计算流体力学模型)的全生命周期计算机模拟模型指导。这将推动计算机辅助设计与开发,加速大规模智能生产的实现,并开启绿色生物制造的新时代。
