This immobilization has versatile uses, ranging from the mL to m3 scale; but the production of the yeast surface displayed UPOs, and their handling has yet to be optimized to advance sustainable industrial processes in light of the UN\u2019s sustainable development goals. Here, we present optimized production protocols for surface-displayed UPOs for shaken and stirred systems in different scales and describe suitable storage conditions and a sterilization method. We utilized one-factor-at-a-time and design of experiments approaches. We were able to streamline published protocols for shaken flask cultivations to achieve a 60% increase in volumetric activity, using reduced amounts of media. We also show at least a doubling of final activity for bioreactor cultivations by utilizing a different medium than the industry standard. Finally, we present a novel, robust protocol for parallelized methanol-induced enzyme production in Komagataella phaffii in a BioLector XT\u00ae reactor. Enzyme activity did not decrease and even increased by our recommended sterilization method and during storage over 87 days. This study aims to advance the yeast surface display immobilization method by providing methods for efficient production, storage and utilization of this promising biocatalyst.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bioengineering12080822","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,30]],"date-time":"2025-07-30T10:55:37Z","timestamp":1753872937000},"page":"822","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Optimizing Yeast Surface-Displayed Unspecific Peroxygenase Production for Sustainable Biocatalysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3077-5010","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Niklas","family":"Teetz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Process Engineering in Life Sciences 2\u2014Electro Biotechnology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Fritz-Haber-Weg 4, 76131 Karlsruhe, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luc","family":"Zuhse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Process Engineering in Life Sciences 2\u2014Electro Biotechnology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Fritz-Haber-Weg 4, 76131 Karlsruhe, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5540-3550","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dirk","family":"Holtmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Process Engineering in Life Sciences 2\u2014Electro Biotechnology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Fritz-Haber-Weg 4, 76131 Karlsruhe, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Beltr\u00e1n-Nogal, A., S\u00e1nchez-Moreno, I., M\u00e9ndez-S\u00e1nchez, D., Santos, P.G.d., Hollmann, F., and Alcalde, M.
