Background
Euglena gracilis, a photosynthetic protist, produces protein, unsaturated fatty acids, wax esters, and a unique β-1,3-glucan called paramylon, along with other valuable compounds. The cell composition of E. gracilis was investigated in th... Read More about Euglena gracilis growth and cell composition under different temperature, light and trophic conditions.

Upscaling Diffusion Through First-Order Volumetric Sinks: A Homogenization of Bacterial Nutrient Uptake (2018)
Journal Article
Dalwadi, M. P., Wang, Y., King, J. R., & Minton, N. P. (2018). Upscaling Diffusion Through First-Order Volumetric Sinks: A Homogenization of Bacterial Nutrient Uptake. SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 78(3), 1300-1329. https://doi.org/10.1137/17m1138625

In mathematical models that include nutrient delivery to bacteria, it is prohibitively expensive to include a pointwise nutrient uptake within small bacterial regions over bioreactor length-scales, and so such models often impose an effective uptake...
