Growth curve of Chlorella vulgaris

The timing of adding engineering E.coli or purified protein to Chlorella vulgaris culture is critical for our project. Through the initial, final biomass concentration data, the instantaneous rate of a reference time and other lab environment datas, we simulate the change in biomass concentration throughout the culture cycle. The status information in the culture medium at each point is then obtained through the other calculus to obtain the best timing point and the corresponding state.

ln(Xt/X0)/t=A+Bexp(-C(t-M))=μ(specific growth rate)

X: biomass concentration(g/l)
t: time(hr)
A: the asymptotic of ln Xt/Xo as t decrese indefinitely
B: the asymptotic of ln Xt/Xo as t increase indefinitely
C: the relative growth rate at time M

Oil accumulation & Nirogen source consumption

Simulating common system of oil accumulation and nitrogen source consumption, not only get the reference of state before the improvement as well as the stage information, but also as a basic equation after some parameters or organisms join into the system.


dP/dt=*dX/dt+*X;

dN/dt=-V*X;

V=((qM-Q)/(qM-q))*((Vm*N)/(N+Vh));

Q=(X0*Q0+N0-N)/X;

X: biomass concentration(g/l)
P: lipid
N: nitrogen
X: biomass

α: the instantaneous yield coefficient of product formation due to cell growth
β: the specific formation rate of product

q: Minimum N quota
qM: Maximum N quota
Q: N quota
Vm: Maximum uptake rate of nitrogen
Vh: Half-saturation coefficient
