Introduction

Based on a set of ordinary differential equations (ODE) describing the kinetics of the cells differentiation, we design a model to find the best differentiation rate ie find the constant reaction \(k_{1}\) to optimize the vitamin production.

We find out that a stochastic algorithm is an other solution to solve our problem.
For system involving large cell counts, ODE model give an accurate representation of the behavior. But with small cell counts , the stochastic and discrete method has a significant influence on the observed behaviour.
These reasons led us to write a stochastic programm based on the Gillespie’s stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA). With this programm we obtain an accurate analysis of the vitamin production.

\[\frac{d[MC]}{dt}(t) = (k_{2} - k_{1}).[MC](t)\] \[\frac{d[DC]}{dt}(t) = k_{1}.[MC](t) + k_{3}.[DC](t)\] \[\frac{d[Vitamin]}{dt}(t) = k_{4}.[DC](t)\] \[[Vitamin](t) = \int_{0}^{t}{[DC](t').dt'}\]
