Abstract

Recent noteworthy advances in the development of high-performing microbial and mammalian strains have enabled the sustainable production of bio-economically valuable substances such as bio-compounds, biofuels, and biopharmaceuticals. However, to obtain an industrially viable mass-production scheme, much time and effort are required. The robust and rational design of fermentation processes requires analysis and optimization of different extracellular conditions and medium components, which have a massive effect on growth and productivity. In this regard, knowledge- and data-driven modeling methods have received much attention. Constraint-based modeling (CBM) is a knowledge-driven mathematical approach that has been widely used in fermentation analysis and optimization due to its capabilities of predicting the cellular phenotype from genotype through high-throughput means. On the other hand, machine learning (ML) is a data-driven statistical method that identifies the data patterns within sophisticated biological systems and processes, where there is inadequate knowledge to represent underlying mechanisms. Furthermore, ML models are becoming a viable complement to constraint-based models in a reciprocal manner when one is used as a pre-step of another. As a result, more predictable models are produced. This review highlights the applications of CBM and ML independently and the combination of these two approaches for analyzing and optimizing fermentation parameters.
