Towards a general kinetic microalgae model : extending a semi-deterministic green microalgae model for the cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis and red alga Porphyridium purpureum Universiteit Gent
Mathematical models for microalgae and cyanobacteria are seldomly validated for different algal species, as such limiting their applicability. Therefore, in this research, a previously developed kinetic model describing the growth of the green microalgae species Chlorella vulgaris was used to simulate the growth of the cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis and the red alga Porphyridium purpureum. Based on a global sensitivity analysis, the model ...
