− | <p>The purpose of our project is to improve the output of polyglutamic acid. But how do we evaluate our work? That's why we need modeling, a useful tool to check our plans and enhance their feasibility.</p> | + | <p>Although our project is promising and exciting, there are many difficulties when it comes to the practical fermentation. We need to consider lots of things before we can get our precious health pudding kit. For example, what culture medium should we use? How much carbon source should we add? How long should the fermentation process be? Well, we can hardly get what we want if it’s too short. On the other hand, a too long process is a waste of source and time, and you know, time means money in the industrial production. Most importantly, will our operation be harmful to the bacteria so that they can’t even survive? These are all we should take care of. </p> |
− | <p>Considering our project is aimed at industrial production, we use our modeling to fit those macro variables which are quite useful in the fermentation industry. They are bacteria scale, product concentration and substrate concentration. Actually what we are most concerned with is the product, so its modeling is necessary. Then we need other equations to illustrate the product. Here we can also choose the gene express pathway using Michealis equation to build our modeling. However, as I said before, we want our data and methods can be used in the industrial fermentation. With this modeling, we can easily find out a suitable fermentation environment and calculate the benefits.
