Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Fermentation Science
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Accurate and timely forecasting of fermentation product yields is crucial for industrial bioprocessing.
  • Existing methods often face a trade-off between sensing speed and data quantity, limiting predictive capabilities.
  • Cellular morphology offers a rich source of information for inferring fermentation status.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate artificial intelligence (AI) models for forecasting ethanol yields in yeast fermentation cultures.
  • To leverage high-dimensional cell morphological data for rapid yield prediction.
  • To overcome the limitations of traditional sensing methods in fermentation monitoring.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a non-staining protocol for rapid acquisition of yeast morphological images.
  • Employed image processing software to extract high-dimensional morphological data.
  • Applied supervised machine learning algorithms, particularly neural networks, for yield forecasting.
  • Validated the AI model using data from the CalMorph-PC(10) system for rapid image acquisition.

Main Results:

  • The developed AI models accurately forecasted ethanol yields, with the neural network algorithm achieving a coefficient of determination >0.9.
  • Effective prediction was demonstrated even for time points 30 and 60 minutes into the future.
  • The model's performance was validated using rapid image acquisition data (within 10 minutes).

Conclusions:

  • AI-based forecasting of product yields using cell morphology is a viable and effective approach.
  • This technology can significantly enhance the management and stable production of biocommodities.
  • The developed platform offers a rapid and data-rich solution for industrial fermentation monitoring.
