Microbiology

Microbial systems exhibit highly multiscale, multilevel, and strongly nonlinear characteristics, with their physiological behavior, metabolic networks, community interactions, and fermentation processes often being jointly regulated by genetic background, environmental conditions, and process parameters. Based on computational modeling and numerical simulation techniques, microbial modeling can systematically analyze the mechanisms of microbial behavior, predict system responses, and guide engineering optimization beyond experimental approaches.

Why Microbial Modeling

  • Microbial behavior is influenced by a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and process factors, resulting in a complicated combination of experimental variables.
  • Experiments are time-consuming and costly, making it difficult to systematically explore the entire parameter space.
  • Scale-up processes and environmental disturbances often lead to unpredictable performance changes.

Through modeling and simulation, we can:

  • Predict system trends before experiments, reducing trial-and-error costs
  • Uncover key control factors and limiting steps
  • Guide strain design, process optimization, and scale-up
  • Support mechanistic understanding and quantitative decision-making

Genome-Scale Metabolic and Pathway Modeling

Metabolic network models are constructed based on genomic information to systematically analyze intracellular metabolic fluxes and key pathways. This is used to predict metabolic bottlenecks, evaluate genetic engineering strategies, and guide rational strain design and functional optimization.
