چکیده
This letter concerns an article recently published in ‘Current Opinion in Biotechnology by Baroukh et al. [1]’. The issue we wish to bring to light is the authors’ claim that dynamic metabolic models including Hybrid Cybernetic Model (HCM) [2,3] and Lumped HCM (L-HCM) [4,5] are based on the balanced growth hypothesis so that they are unable to simulate the accumulation of intracellular metabolites. This is a misrepresentation of these models due to the following reasons.

Editorial: Biotechnology of Microalgae, Based on Molecular Biology and Biochemistry of Eukaryotic Algae and Cyanobacteria
Microalgae, including eukaryotic algae and cyanobacteria, comprise a diverse group of microscopic unicellular photosynthetic organisms that inhabit almost all ecological niches. Recently, energy and resource production using microalgae have received a great deal of attention (Banerjee et al., 2016). Several species of microalgae are commercially available. Microalgae produce high-value products...
متن کاملImproving Butanol Fermentation To Enter the Advanced Biofuel Market
1-Butanol is a large-volume, intermediate chemical with favorable physical and chemical properties for blending with or directly substituting for gasoline. The per-volume value of butanol, as a chemical, is sufficient for investing into the recommercialization of the classical acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) (E. M. Green, Curr. Opin. Biotechnol. 22:337-343, 2011) fermentation process. Furthermore...

متن کاملEffects of salinity on growth and fatty acid composition of green microalgae Dunaliella bardawil as a candidate source for biofuel production
Microalgae as a source of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, pigments, pharmaceutical and food metabolites, has received more focus by biological researchers at last decades. The amount and composition of fatty acids produced by microalgae depended on biomass production and environmental factors such as changes in salinity, light and nutrient availability. In this study, the green microalga...
متن کاملDRUM: A New Framework for Metabolic Modeling under Non-Balanced Growth. Application to the Carbon Metabolism of Unicellular Microalgae
Metabolic modeling is a powerful tool to understand, predict and optimize bioprocesses, particularly when they imply intracellular molecules of interest. Unfortunately, the use of metabolic models for time varying metabolic fluxes is hampered by the lack of experimental data required to define and calibrate the kinetic reaction rates of the metabolic pathways. For this reason, metabolic models ...
