Abstract

Fermentation technology is a critical component of modern biotechnology, playing a significant role in the production of pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and high-value biochemicals. This review explores recent advancements in fermentation technology, focusing on innovations in microbial engineering, bioreactor design, process optimization, and emerging applications. Genetic manipulation and synthetic biology have revolutionized microbial engineering, enabling the precise modification of metabolic pathways and the creation of synthetic consortia. Advances in bioreactor design, including the development of advanced control systems and continuous fermentation processes, have significantly improved process efficiency and scalability. Metabolic engineering and process analytical technology (PAT) frameworks have enhanced process optimization, leading to better product yields and quality. Emerging applications in biofuels, biochemicals, and pharmaceuticals highlight the expanding scope of fermentation technology. These advancements promise to enhance the efficiency, scalability, and sustainability of fermentation processes, positioning fermentation technology as a key player in addressing global challenges in health, energy, and sustainability.
