abstract = {The biotechnological production of fine chemicals, proteins
and pharmaceuticals is usually hampered by loss of microbial
performance during scale-up. This challenge is mainly caused
by discrepancies between homogeneous environmental
conditions at laboratory scale, where bioprocesses are
optimized, and inhomogeneous conditions in large-scale
bioreactors, where production takes place. Therefore, to
improve strain selection and process development, it is of
great interest to characterize these fluctuating conditions
at large-scale and to study their effects on microbial
cells. In this paper, we demonstrate the potential of
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of large-scale
bioreactors combined with dynamic microfluidic single-cell
cultivation (dMSCC). Environmental conditions in a 200 L
bioreactor were characterized with CFD simulations.
Computational lifelines were determined by combining
simulated turbulent multiphase flow, mass transport and
particle tracing. Glucose availability for Corynebacterium
glutamicum cells was determined. The reactor was simulated
with average glucose concentrations of 6 g m−3, 10 g m−3
and 16 g m−3. The resulting computational lifelines,
discretized into starvation and abundance regimes, were used
as feed profiles for the dMSCC to investigate how varying
glucose concentration affects cell physiology and growth
rate. In this study, each colony in the dMSCC device
represents a single cell as it travels through the reactor.
Under oscillating conditions reproduced in the dMSCC device,
a decrease in growth rate of about $40\%$ was observed
compared to continuous supply with the same average glucose
availability. The presented approach provides insights into
environmental conditions observed by microorganisms in
large-scale bioreactors. It also paves the way for an
improved understanding of how inhomogeneous environmental
conditions influence cellular physiology, growth and
production.},
