Emphasis of the research for this award will be on the dynamic                  modeling and optimization of continuous cultures.  On-line                      optical density and glucose measurements will be used to develop                steady-state mathematical models of microbial growth.  Subsequent               step response and feedback identification experiments are to be                 implemented in order to obtain a mathematical model that best                   describes the dynamics of a continuous culture.  Saccharomyces                  cerevisiae grown anaerobically is to be used as a model organism.                                                                                               Adaptive optimization algorithms are to be used with the above                  mathematical model to guide further experimentation.  The success               of the algorithms in ensuring operation at an optimal dilution                  rate is to be tested.  Continuous cultures will be subjected to                 dilution rate, temperature, pH and feed glucose concentration                   changes to see whether the algorithm succeeds in optimizing the                 process.  Optical density and glucose concentration in the                      continuous culture are to be the measured variables.                                                                                                            Plasmid stability studies using periodic temperature variations                 in shake flask and continuous cultures of E. coli are also to be                carried out.
