Lkelly9 Week 6

Purpose

• The purpose of this assignment is to hypothesize what the impact of ammonium feet rate is on a quantity of interest in a chosen journal article and devise a system of differential equations that captures the important behaviors using state variables that are necessary to the process.

Results

1. Pick one of the two general projects above.
   • For this assignment, I chose the Albertin et al (2011) paper, which is part of the "gaining a better understanding of the fermentation/respiration switch" project.
2. Carefully read the first paper associated with your project.
   • Attached is a PDF of the notes that I took on this paper as I was reading it. I used these notes to better understand how different variables were related and write a system of differential equations.
   • Notes on Albertin et al Article
3. Propose a hypothesis about the impact of the ammonium feed rate on a quantity of interest (alcohol, carbon dioxide, glutamate, etc). This quantity may or may not be one quantified in the figures of the Journal Club One paper.
4. Delineate state variables that are necessary to the process.
5. Write a system of differential equations that you think captures the important behaviors.
6. Explain and justify the terms in your differential equation system.
