　　We want to use pigments to enhance the photosynthesis rate. Different pigments adsorb different wavelength of sunlight, and bring about different irradiance, temperature, and photosynthesis rate. These two models show the influence of irradiance and temperature on photosynthesis rate.

　　The simplified graph is used to calculate how much energy is absorbed by each pigment approximately, and also help us know the photon adsorption amount after conversion.

fig.2 Simulation of energy absorption of each pigment

　　After we get the influential degree on temperature, we can use our modeling to predict the productivity of microalgae at different temperature without other affecting factors. It is the modeling to ensure that our experiments are under control.

Umax = A*exp(-E/RT)

　　When our Synechosistis PCC7942 grows at each phase, the equilibrium of pH value is different. This model can be used to collocate with our device, and also accomplishing the purpose of enhance productivity.

fig.4 Microalgae productivity in different pH

　　The model tells us that theoretically there is no faster photosynthetic rate, only if more energy is absorbed. After working with other modeling, we can establish the relation between photosynthetic rate and total yield for the purpose of best balance.

fig.5 The relation between photosynthetic rate and total yield

　　The timing of adding engineered E.coli or purified protein to Chlorella vulgaris culture is critical to our project. By analyzing the initial and final biomass concentration data, the instantaneous rate, which is based on reference time and other lab environment data, would be gained. We have simulated the change in biomass concentration throughout the culture cycle. The intermittent information in the culture medium at each point is ultimately gained through combining other modeling results, which aims to determine the best timing and corresponding state.

　　By simulating common system of oil accumulation and nitrogen source consumption, we can not only get the reference data before the improvement, but also make it as a basic equation after joining some parameters or organisms into the system.

　　To find out the best quantity of nitrogen removal, we model several situations of decreasing the biomass in different environment with different concentration of nitrogen, and then we can find the best productivity by comparison.

　　We predict that total lipid will increase under nitrogen starvation. The modeling provides the theoretical information of the maximum of productivity. This graph shows that if we use symbiotic microbe to make nitrogen source isolated from the system temporarily and successfully, the productivity will be enhanced.

　　According to our reference of experiment data, we find that E.coli can build a relationship, which is like symbiosis, with Chlorella vulgaris. Therefore, we build a model and use three kinds of values from different situation to simulate their change when they are co-cultured. According to this, we get the proper experimental proportion of them at each need.
