Constructing Microbial Consortia with Optimal Biomass Production Using a Genetic Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Typical natural microbial ecosystems contain many different member organisms that all interact with each other in a highly nonlinear way. Although historically most work in microbiology has focused on pure cultures of single organisms, the study of groups of organisms (consortia) still forms a major challenge. While genetic algorithms are capable of optimising nonlinear systems and they should therefore be very well suited for studying microbial ecology, they have only rarely been used in this field. In this work, a genetic algorithm was used to construct a microbial consortium with optimal biomass production from separate isolated strains.

Glycoside hydrolase activities of thermophilic bacterial consortia adapted to switchgrass.
Industrial-scale biofuel production requires robust enzymatic cocktails to produce fermentable sugars from lignocellulosic biomass. Thermophilic bacterial consortia are a potential source of cellulases and hemicellulases adapted to harsher reaction conditions than commercial fungal enzymes. Compost-derived microbial consortia were adapted to switchgrass at 60°C to develop thermophilic biomass-d...
متن کاملOptimization of Cutting Parameters Based on Production Time Using Colonial Competitive (CC) and Genetic (G) Algorithms
A properly designed machining procedure can significantly affect the efficiency of the production lines. To minimize the cost of machining process as well as increasing the quality of products, cutting parameters must permit the reduction of cutting time and cost to the lowest possible levels. To achieve this, cutting parameters must be kept in the optimal range. This is a non-linear optimizati...

The Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) model is often used in the manufacturing sector to assist firms in determining the optimal production lot size that minimizes overall production-inventory costs. There are some assumptions in the EPQ model that restrict this model for real-world applications. Some of these assumptions are (1) infinite space of warehouse, (2) all of the pr...

متن کاملAdvances in industrial microbiome based on microbial consortium for biorefinery
One of the important targets of industrial biotechnology is using cheap biomass resources. The traditional strategy is microbial fermentations with single strain. However, cheap biomass normally contains so complex compositions and impurities that it is very difficult for single microorganism to utilize availably. In order to completely utilize the substrates and produce multiple products in on...
