Numerical Modeling of Lipid Biosynthesis in Microalgae

Modelling lipid production in microalgae

Microalgae offer potentially great opportunities for producing biofuel. In order to optimize triglycerid production, this article proposes a dynamical model of microalgal lipid production. In this model, intracellular carbon is divided between a functional pool and two storage pools (sugars and neutral lipids). The various intracellular carbon flows between these pools lead to a complex dynamic...

Potential of microalgae and lactobacilli in biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles.

INTRODUCTION Application of nanoparticles has been extensively increased in last decades. Nanoparticles of noble metals such as gold, platinum and especially silver are widely applied in medical and pharmaceutical applications. Although, variety of physical and chemical methods has been developed for production of metal nanoparticles, because of destructive effects of them on environment, biosy...

About Microalgae Growth Kinetics Modeling

Microalgae are a natural source of high-value compounds for the pharmaceutical and food industry, such as bioactive compounds, vitamins, pigments and fatty acids.1 In addition, in the long term, algae culture may be useful for production of clean fuels. Photosynthetic algal culture is carried out in photobioreactors that may be illuminated naturally (outdoor) or artificially (indoor). Availabil...

Numerical modeling of economic uncertainty

Representation and modeling of economic uncertainty is addressed by different modeling methods, namely stochastic variables and probabilities, interval analysis, and fuzzy numbers, in particular triple estimates. Fo-cusing on discounted cash flow analysis numerical results are presented, comparisons are made between alter-native modeling methods, and characteristics of the methods are discussed.
