Intracellular control level modeling

Chapter 3 is devoted to phototrophic processes modeling. The model approach includes the level of metaboHc fluxes and of the intracellular control. The appropriate balance equations and kinetics are outlined. The specific features, such as photosynthesis, carbon uptake, and carbon partitioning, are described. Dynamic description of the complex reactions of the cells to environmental changes is also discussed with some examples. The objective of this chapter is to give the basic biological background, to deduce, step by step, the model s governing equations, and to present simulation results with realistic parameter values.
