A RBA model for the chemostat modeling
The purpose of this paper is to show that it is possible to replace Monod's type model of a chemostat by a constraint based model of bacteria at the genome scale. This new model is an extension of the RBA model of bacteria developed in a batch mode to the chemostat. This new model, and the associated framework, leads to a dramatic improvement in the prediction capacities of the chemostat behaviour. Indeed, for example, the internal states of the bacteria are now part of the prediction outputs and the chemostat behaviour can now be predicted for any limiting source. Finally, the first interests of this new predictive method are illustrated on a set of classic situations where predictions are already close of the well-known biological observations about chemostat. This paper is an extended version of [8] that includes a discussion on the modeling assumptions.

A chemostat model with variable dilution rate due to biofilm growth
In many real life applications, a continuous culture bioreactor may cease to function properly due to bioclogging which is typically caused by the microbial overgrowth. This is a problem that has been largely overlooked …
What is a chemostat? Insights from hybrid dynamics and stochastic thermodynamics
At the microscopic scale, open chemical reaction networks are described by stochastic reactions that follow mass-action kinetics and are coupled to chemostats. We show that closed chemical reaction networks -- with speci…
Thermodynamics of Growth in Open Chemical Reaction Networks
We identify the thermodynamic conditions necessary to observe indefinite growth in homogeneous open chemical reaction networks (CRNs) satisfying mass action kinetics. We also characterize the thermodynamic efficiency of …
A numerical approach to determine mutant invasion fitness and evolutionary singular strategies
We propose a numerical approach to study the invasion fitness of a mutant and to determine evolutionary singular strategies in evolutionary structured models in which the competitive exclusion principle holds. Our approa…
Maximum entropy and population heterogeneity in continuous cell cultures
Continuous cultures of mammalian cells are complex systems displaying hallmark phenomena of nonlinear dynamics, such as multi-stability, hysteresis, as well as sharp transitions between different metabolic states. In thi…
