Abstract: | Metabolic flux analysis (MFA) is a key tool for measuring in vivo metabolic fluxes in systems at metabolic steady state. Here, we present a new method for dynamic metabolic flux analysis (DMFA) of systems that are not at metabolic steady state. The advantages of our DMFA method are: (1) time-series of metabolite concentration data can be applied directly for estimating dynamic fluxes, making data smoothing and estimation of average extracellular rates unnecessary; (2) flux estimation is achieved without integration of ODEs, or iterations; (3) characteristic metabolic phases in the fermentation data are identified automatically by the algorithm, rather than selected manually/arbitrarily. We demonstrate the application of the new DMFA framework in three example systems. First, we evaluated the performance of DMFA in a simple three-reaction model in terms of accuracy, precision and flux observability. Next, we analyzed a commercial glucose-limited fed-batch process for 1,3-propanediol production. The DMFA method accurately captured the dynamic behavior of the fed-batch fermentation and identified characteristic metabolic phases. Lastly, we demonstrate that DMFA can be used without any assumed metabolic network model for data reconciliation and detection of gross measurement errors using carbon and electron balances as constraints. |
