Dynamic metabolic modeling of heterotrophic and mixotrophic microalgal growth on fermentative wastes
Fig 2
Comparison between the model and experimental data for Chlorella sorokiniana heterotrophic growth on acetate or butyrate.
Simulations are represented by full lines (conditions used for calibration) or dashed lines (conditions used for validation). Experimental results are represented by large dots, triangles or diamonds. Red: 1 gC.L-1; blue: 0.5 gC.L-1; purple: 0.3 gC.L-1; yellow: 0.25 gC.L-1; green: 0.1 gC.L-1. A. Acetate concentration (gC.L-1) for acetate growth. B. Biomass concentration (g.L-1) in acetate growing conditions. C. Butyrate concentration (gC.L-1) for butyrate growth. D. Biomass concentration (g.L-1) in butyrate growing conditions. Thanks to the fitting quality, each of the experimental triplicates could be appropriately fit accounting for the slight variations in the initial conditions. Only one of the triplicates per experimental condition is represented here, but the simulations for all triplicates are available in S4 Fig.
