Development and implementation of a non- parametric/metabolic model in the process optimisation of PHA production by mixed microbial cultures

چکیده
In this work we study the optimization of a polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production process by mixed cultures based on a detailed hybrid metabolic model. The metabolic network under consideration was first decomposed into its fundamental pathways using the elementary flux modes (EFM) technique. Then, a dynamical hybrid semi-parametric model was formulated, which allowed to identify the EFM kinetics from experimental data of 7 batch runs. The EFM fluxes were interpreted in terms of metabolic consistency. The final model allowed to characterize the metabolism dynamics, namely of how the relative weight of pathways evolves in time in a typical batch or fed-batch run. The present technique is a step forward for the integration of systems biology and bioprocess control.

Influence of Different Culture Selection Methods on Polyhydroxyalkanoate Production at Short-term Biomass Enrichment
In this study, the potential of four different culture selection methods under short-term enrichment time (STE) to accumulate PHA-producing bacteria in mixed activated sludge was compared and the most efficient culture selection method was introduced. This means, PHA-producing microbial community was firstly enriched in a sequencing batch bioreactor (SBR) with four different selection methods i...

The phenomenological model of Khossravi and Connors (1992) has been adopted to calculate the electrophoretic mobility of drugs at different concentrations of solvents in a binary mixture. The accuracy and predictability of the model have been evaluated employing 14 experimental data sets by using average percentage mean deviation (APMD). The obtained APMD for correlative and predictive studies ...

متن کاملEffects of carbon sources on the enrichment of halophilic polyhydroxyalkanoate-storing mixed microbial culture in an aerobic dynamic feeding process
Microbial polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production serves as a substitute for petroleum-based plastics. Enriching mixed microbial cultures (MMCs) with the capacity to store PHA is a key precursor for low-cost PHA production. This study investigated the impact of carbon types on enrichment outcomes. Three MMCs were separately fed by acetate sodium, glucose, and starch as an enriching carbon source,...
