Bioindustry4.0 Work Package 7: Tools for high-quality datasets, requisite for data-driven methods and services

Real-time online monitoring of bioprocesses

Industrial biotechnology (IB) has the potential to create new markets while protecting the environment. With this in mind, the EU-funded BIOINDUSTRY 4.0 project will pave the way for IB to become a major manufacturing technology. Supporting the digitalisation of IB, the project will create new services delivered by European research ...

Hybrid Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Efficient Computational Modeling: A Workflow Framework Applied to Schwanniomyces occidentalis

Industrial-scale penicillin simulation

Industrial-scale penicillin simulation (IndPenSim) is a first principles mathematical model of a 100,000 Litre fermentation of an industrial strain of Penicillium chrysogenum validated using historical data collected from an industrial-scale penicillin fermentation process. Adapting a previously published structured model to describe penicillin fermentation and extending the model to include the main environmental effects of dissolved oxygen, ...

Measurements using Ramen spectroscopy can be perturbed by ‘background’ fluorescence during fermentation originating from the organism, the feedstock, and/or the medium. Data from the ‘Ethanol Production’ use case involving an industrial strain of the yeast S. cerevisiae (RWTH) will investigate the various sources of fluorescence and their effects on fluorescence at the end of fermentation. New and collated datasets will be useful in the production, refinement, and verification of statistical, ...

Scorpionism is a serious public health problem in tropical areas, especially in Africa, southern India, the Middle East, and Latin America. There are about 12 species of scorpions that are dangerous to humans and all belong to the Buthidae family. In particular, venom on scorpion Androctonus australis hector is particularly toxic to humans. Serotherapy uses antibodies or fragments of antibodies to target the neurotoxins of the scorpion venom. Nanobodies, camelid-derived antibodies, are more ...
