Ava's Journal Reflection

1. Discuss amongst yourselves whether or not the Tai et al (2007) journal club paper gives you enough information to perform such a simulation.
2. What parameters are explicitly given?
   • Specific growth rate: 0.03 h−1
3. Can you back any others out from the data tables?
4. To what in the model do the quantities in Table 1 correspond?

2. What parameters are explicitly given?

The researchers only explicitly provide the dilution rate and the volume in the container. Searching back through their previous paper is necessary to find nutrient concentrations. The parameters that were explicitly stated are listed below:

• dilution rate = 0.03 h^-1
• volume in container = 1 L
• provide nutrient concentrations by referencing methods from previous study (Tai et al., 2005)
  • glucose limited culture
    • 5.0 g liter^1 (NH4)2SO4
    • 3.0 g liter^1 KH2PO4
    • 0.5 g liter^1 MgSO47H2O
    • 25 g liter^1 glucose
  • ammonia limited culture
    • 0.65 g liter^1(NH4)2SO4
    • 5.75 g liter^1 K2SO4
    • 3.0 g liter^1 KH2PO4
    • 0.5 g liter^1 MgSO47H2O
    • 46 g liter^1 glucose

3. Can you back any others out from the data tables? Table 1 provides dilution rates for each experimental set up. While Table 2 provides cell biomass and nutrient mass values.

4. To what in the model do the quantities in Table 1 correspond?
