High-Fidelity Modelling Methodology of Light-Limited Photosynthetic Production in Microalgae. by Andrea Bernardi, Andreas Nikolaou, Andrea Meneghesso, Tomas Morosinotto, Benoît Chachuat, Fabrizio Bezzo

“…A model of chlorophyll fluorescence developed by the authors [Nikolaou et al., J Biotechnol 194:91-99, 2015] is used as starting point, whereby the representation of non-photochemical-quenching (NPQ) process is refined for biological consistency. This model spans multiple time scales ranging from milliseconds to hours, thus calling for a combination of various experimental techniques in order to arrive at a sufficiently rich data set and determine statistically meaningful estimates for the model parameters. …”
