Models

This model assumes a phenotypic switch between an acid- and solvent-forming population caused by the changing pH levels. The two phenotypes differ in their transcriptomic, proteomic, and ,thus, their metabolomic profile. Because the growth rates of these phenotypes depends on the extracellular pH, the initiation of the pH-shift results in a significant decline of the acidogenic population. Simultaneously, the solvent-forming population rises and establishes an new steady state.

An ODE model representing the metabolic network governing acid and solvent production by Clostridium acetobutylicum (Haus et al. BMC Systems Biology 2011, 5:10), incorporating the effect of pH upon gene regulation and subsequent end-product levels. This model describes the third of four experiments in which the pH of the culture was shifted. For this experiment acidogenesis at pH 5.7 was maintained for 121 hours, after which the pH control was stopped, allowing the natural metabolic shift to the ...

An ODE model representing the metabolic network governing acid and solvent production by Clostridium acetobutylicum (Haus et al. BMC Systems Biology 2011, 5:10), incorporating the effect of pH upon gene regulation and subsequent end-product levels. This model describes the last of four experiments in which the pH of the culture was shifted. For this experiment the pH shift was reversed compared to the first three (shift from pH 4.5 to 5.7), with the pH control switched off after 129 hours. ...
