Abstract:In this paper, we propose a hybrid nonlinear dynamical system to describe the concentration changes of extracellular and intracellular substances of glycerol bioconversion to 1,3-propanedol (1,3-PD) in microbial continuous cultures. It is proved that the solution to the system exists and is continuous with respect to kinetic, parameters. Subsequently, a novel quantitative definition of biological robustness is investigated. We present a performance index based on experiment data of extracellular concentrations and biological robustness. Taking the proposed hybrid nonlinear dynamical system as a constraint, we establish an identification model to determine the most reasonable metabolic pathway and optimal kinetic parameters. The identifiability of the proposed model is also ascertained. This work provides theoretical basis for future numerical simulation and optimization computation.
