Research Abstract |
The optimal profile of the specific growth rate was obtained utilizing a simple mathematical model in a yeast fed-batch culture. The model was built based on the mass balance around the fed-batch system and the relationship between the specific growth rate, mu, and the specific production rate of glutathione, rho_G. The optimal profile of mu was calculated as a bang-bang type one. That is, mu should start from the maximum value, um_<max> and should be kept at mu_<max> ; then mu should be switched to mu_c, which gives a maximum value of rho_G. It was proved from the maximum principle that switching was needed only once, with the switching time from mu_<max> to mu_C depending on the final required glutathione content. Finally, this ideal profile of mu for the maximum production of glutathione was realized by manipulating the substrate feed rate inthe fed-batch culture. Using the extended Kalman filter and a PF (Programmed Controller/ Feedback Compensator) System, mu could be controlled at the optimal profile obtained theoretically. As a result, the maximum production of glutathione was accomplished fairly successfully. The control strategy employed here can be applied to the other batch reaction processes.
