Cameron M. Rehmani Seraji Week 6: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:53, 22 February 2017

The purpose of the week 6 assignment is to construct models of the dynamics of yeast, nitrogen, and carbon. This will be accomplished by further studying the growth of yeast and how the state variables and parameters affect it. In particular, this assignment will focus on the central nitrogen metabolism processes project.

For this assignment, I decided to focus on the central nitrogen metabolism processes project.
From the three readings, I selected the ter Schure et al 1995 paper and took notes.

An increase in the ammonia feed rate would cause the yield of S. cerevisiae to remain constant. S. cerevisiae, ammonia, and glucose fit into the multiplicative nutrient use model because ammonia and glucose are both needed for S. cerevisiae to grow. The yield is constant because the residual ammonia concentration becomes limiting at dilution rates greater than 0.15 h^-1.

The system of differential equations I have generated are based on the multiplicative nutrient use model from Multiple Nutrients in Chemostat Assignment.
My attempt at finding a system of differential equations for the model can be found here

Ammonia Consumption
- Du1 represents the concentration of ammonia being added to the fermenter(inflow).
- Dc1 represents the concentration of ammonia being taken out of the fermenter(outflow).
- y(c1/c1+k1)(c2/c2+K2) is the amount of ammonia and glucose being consumed by the yeast.
Glucose Consumption
- Du2 represents the concentration of glucose being added to the fermenter(inflow).
- Dc2 represents the concentration of glucose being taken out of the fermenter(outflow).
- y(c1/c1+k1)(c2/c2+K2) is the amount of ammonia and glucose being consumed by the yeast.
Yeast Growth
- yR(c1/c1+k1)(c2/c2+K2) represents the growth rate of the yeast as ammonia and glucose are being consumed.
Dy represents the amount of yeast leaving the fermenter.

Worked with Lauren M. Kelly in Seaver 120 on February 22nd.
Except for what is noted above, this individual journal entry was completed by me and not copied from another source.
