Dynamic modeling of microbial cell populations.

چکیده

Microbial cultures are comprised of heterogeneous cells that differ according to their size and intracellular concentrations of DNA, proteins and other constituents. Recent advances have been made in cell population modeling, which allow the effects of cell heterogeneity on culture dynamics and metabolite production to be predicted. If the intracellular state can be captured with a few variables, the population balance equation framework is a viable modeling approach. The cell ensemble modeling technique is better suited for the development of population models that include more detailed descriptions of cellular metabolism and/or cell-cycle progression.

Modeling of Multi-population Microbial Fuel and Electrolysis Cells Based on the Bioanode Potential Conditions

Microbial fuel cell and microbial electrolysis cell are two major types of microbial electrochemical cells. In the present study, we governed modeling of these systems by concentrating on the simulation of bioelectrochemical reactions in both biofilm and anolyte and considering the effect of pH on the microbial growth. The simulation of microbial fuel and electrolysis cells can be described by ...

Fasting and apoptosis: a mini review

Fasting, that is usually described as abstinence from all food and drink for a period of time, has been experienced for ages. Health, protest, religious expressions of devotion and purification are the most important reasons for fasting. Many changes occur in the body during fasting including metabolic, mineral, hormonal, immunological and psychological. Its use as one of the oldest therapies a...

Dynamic investigation of hydrocarbon proton exchange membrane Fuel Cell

Sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK) is categorized in a nonfluorinated aromatic hydrocarbon proton exchange membrane (PEM) group and considered as a suitable substitute for common per-fluorinated membranes, such as Nafion, due to wider operating temperature, less feed gas crossover, and lower cost. Since modeling results in a better understanding of a phenomenon, in this study a dynamic o...
