Optimum culture medium composition for rhamnolipid production by pseudomonas aeruginosa AT10 using a novel multi‐objective optimization method

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Rhamnolipid is a biosurfactant that finds wide applications in pharmaceuticals and beauty products. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a producer of rhamnolipids, and the process can be implemented under laboratory‐scale conditions. Rhamnolipid concentration depends on medium composition namely, carbon source concentration, nitrogen source concentration, phosphate content and iron content. In this work, existing data7 were used to develop an artificial neural network‐based response surface model (ANN RSM) for rhamnolipid production by pseudomonas aeruginosa AT10. This ANN RSM model is integrated with non‐dominated sorting differential evolution (DE) to identify the optimum medium composition for this process. RESULTS: Different strategies for optimization of culture medium composition for this process were evaluated, and the best determined to be an ANN model combined with DE involving a combination of Naïve and Slow and ε‐constrained techniques. The optimal culture medium is determined to have carbon source concentration of 49.86 g dm−3, nitrogen source concentration of 4.99 g dm−3, phosphate content of 1.42 g dm−3, and iron content of 17.12 g dm−3. The maximum rhamnolipid activity was found to be 18.07 g dm−3, which compares favorably with that previously reported (18.66 g dm−3), and is in fact closer to the experimentally determined value of 16.50 g dm−3. CONCLUSION: This method has distinct advantages over methods using statistical regression models, and can be used for optimization of other multi‐objective biosurfactant production processes. © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry

“…34 Pseudomonas aeruginosa AT10 can produce 18.07 g l À1 rhamnolipid due to medium optimization. 20 These results revealed that the engineered strain P. aeruginosa PoprAB is an efficient strain for rhamnolipid production. …”

Artificial neural networks as classification and diagnostic tools for lymph node-negative breast cancers

“…input layer to the hidden layer nodes and the hidden to the output layer nodes. Numerical processing is not carried out in the input layer; it is done by the hidden and output layer nodes, and hence they are termed as active nodes [2,3].…”

“…Prevalent studies have been established for classification by the statisticians, but the networkbased method emerging as a new area of research is viewed to provide better efficiency for classification problems. We have used neural networks because they have numerous applications in handling large databases [22,23], which includes biochemical engineering, biomedical science and bioinformatics [2,3,21], DNA sequence analysis and biological pattern recognition [24]. There are a number of reasons to incorporate prognostic markers with ANN, which has been thought to provide an efficient diagnostic methodology; First, prognostic signature belongs to many functional classes, which suggests that different paths could lead to disease progression, hence providing better means of detection.…”

“…In this postgenomic era, gene-expression profiling by means of cDNA microarrays has led to the simultaneous scrutiny of unique gene patterns associated with cancer which acts as markers and has been used to classify tumors into clinically relevant subtype [1] with members sharing common features. Implementation of artificial intelligence methods has fuelled the area of extraction of biologically significant features in the gene sequences [2,3]. Evolutionary algorithms such as genetic algorithms and differential evolution are used for optimization and classification of biological systems [4][5][6][7].…”

Optimal feed profile for the Rhamnolipid kinetic models by using Tabu search: metabolic view point

“…These are surface-active metabolites produced by Pseudomonas sp. They are widely studied under glycolipid biosurfactants that possess the ability to reduce surface tension of water as the standard value reduces from 72 to 30 mN/m, and the interfacial tension of water/oil systems reduces from 43 mN/m to standards of about 1 mN/m (Satya Eswari et al 2013, 2016; Satya Eswari and Venkateswarlu 2016a, b; Prabu et al 2015). These are produced by using a number of substrates such as glucose, pyruvate, glycerol, succinate, molasses, vegetable oils, starch-rich waste from potato processing, hydrocarbons, waste fruit processing, waste crop residue and agro industrial waste etc.…”
