Microbial metabolism: optimal control of uptake versus synthesis
Microbes require several complex organic molecules for growth. A species may obtain a required factor by taking up molecules released by other species or by synthesizing the molecule. The patterns of uptake and synthesis set a flow of resources through the multiple species that create a microbial community. This article analyzes a simple mathematical model of the tradeoff between uptake and syn...
متن کاملOptimal Supervisory Control Synthesis
The place invariant method is well known as an elegant way to construct a Petri net controller. It is possible to use the constraint for preventing forbidden states. But in general case, the number forbidden states can be very large giving a great number of control places. In this paper is presented a systematic method to reduce the size and the number of constraints. This method is applicable ...
متن کاملA biocompatible alkene hydrogenation merges organic synthesis with microbial metabolism.
Organic chemists and metabolic engineers use orthogonal technologies to construct essential small molecules such as pharmaceuticals and commodity chemicals. While chemists have leveraged the unique capabilities of biological catalysts for small-molecule production, metabolic engineers have not likewise integrated reactions from organic synthesis with the metabolism of living organisms. Reported...
متن کاملSynthesis of Optimal Resilient Control Strategies
Repair mechanisms are important within resilient systems to maintain the system in an operational state after an error occurred. Usually, constraints on the repair mechanisms are imposed, e.g., concerning the time or resources required (such as energy consumption or other kinds of costs). For systems modeled by Markov decision processes (MDPs), we introduce the concept of resilient schedulers, ...
متن کاملForces, Fluxes and the Control of Microbial Growth and Metabolism
It is an interesting fact (Macfarlane, 1984) that 58 years elapsed between the publication of the studies of Burdon Sanderson and of Lister showing the antibacterial action of members of the genus Penicillium (Burdon Sanderson, 187 1 ; Lister, 187 1) and Fleming's somewhat more celebrated paper (Fleming, 1929) to the same effect. Coincidentally enough, a similar period links this latter date wi...
