Title: Applying Design of Experiments and Machine Learning algorithms to define the consumption envelope of lactic acid
Author: Garcia Lopez, Marc

Abstract: Because of the climate crisis, the scientific community has been developing and exploring carbon neutral alternatives to fossil fuels. Although it is not as well-known as wind or solar energy, the use of microbial cell factories to produce biofuels and other bioproducts is gaining prominence lately. Nonetheless, on the long term, those processes require an important optimization to make them feasible and economically profitable. Historically, this optimization has been carried out by using suboptimal methods (e.g. COST: change one single variable at a time). Nevertheless, by applying the proper experimental design and by using the adequate computational tools, we can obtain solid results without investing too much time or effort. In this project, we aim to use design of experiments (DoE) and some Machine Learning algorithms to optimize a bioindustrial process for the company Photanol, whose goal is to turn CO2 and sunlight into organic acids by cultivating genetically engineered strains of the photosynthetic cyanobacteria Synechocystis PCC 6803. Without going yet into further detail, our goal is to - through the use of classifiers- identify those combinations of pH, temperature and osmolarity (π) that result in a safe lactate consumption rate of the biological pollutants that inhabit our photobiorreactors (β < 0.1 mM/day).
