Overview

Our pathway model for diacetyl producer consists of two parts: ODE pathway analysis and parameter sensitivity analysis. ODE pathway analysis is to examine the feasibility of our pathway. It is the foundation of model analysis.

ODE pathway analysis

Aim: To model the feasibility of the diacetyl producer pathway.
Steps:

  1. Build up the equations
  2. Investigate reasonable parameter sets from previous learning and researches
  3. Run the model and simulation
  4. Verify the feasibility of the pathway model
  5. Simulation for diacetyl producer

Background:
One of the most ambitious and challenging goals of metabolic engineering is the design of biological systems base on quantitative predictions with the aid of mathematical models. This is particularly because of the well-known difficulties in assessing enzyme kinetics under in vivo conditions as a prerequisite for a quantitative analysis of the reaction pathway.

Model Structure:
The dynamic model of the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway(EMP) of Escherichia coli consists of mass balance equations for extracellular glucose and for the intracellular metabolites. These mass balances take the following form:

Where Ci denotes the concentration of metabolite i, μ is the specific growth rate, and vij is the stoichiometric coefficient for this metabolite in reaction j, the rate of which is rj.
The balance equation for extracellular glucose is expressed as:

Where Cfeedglc is the glucose concentration in the feed, is the extracellular glucose concentration, Cx is the biomass concentration, and ρx is the specific weight of the biomass. The term fpulse provides allowance for the sudden change of glucose concentration caused by the glucose pulse.
