یک مدل ریاضی برای هدایت مهندسی ژنتیک متابولیسم فتوسنتز

In this work, we developed a mathematical model to describe the key factors influencing algae photosynthetic productivity in a photobioreactor, using experimental measurements for the WT strain of Nannochloropsis gaditana. The model was then exploited to predict the effect of potential genetic modifications on algae performances in an industrial context, showing the ability to predict the productivity of mutants with specific photosynthetic phenotypes. These results show that a quantitative model can be exploited to identify the genetic modifications with the highest impact on productivity taking into full account the complex influence of environmental conditions, efficiently guiding engineering efforts.
