PBR-Scripts
A set of Control Scripts for PSI Bioreactor Client software developed in Department of Adaptive Biotechnologies. These scripts allow automation of both basic and advanced funcionalities not available in standard distribution of the client software.
Getting Started
Put one of the below listed .js files content to PSI Bioreactor Client software protocol scripting part and modify appropriately UserDefinedProtocol section (object).
- PP-GrowthOptimizer Script for automatic quazi-continous characterization and consequent optimization of microorganism cultivated in PBRs based on programatic control of selected PBR parameters. The script is activated on a peristaltic pump scripting protocol. Data postprocessing including growth rates (doubling times) calculation is available here.
- O2-PIcurveMeasurement Script for automatic measurement of oxygen evolution and respiration under different irradiances (PI curve measurements). The script is activated on the oxygen probe (O2 dissolved) scripting protocol.
Stable releases: v1.0: PP-GrowthOptimizer, O2-PIcurveMeasurement
Examples
- PP-GrowthOptimizer
The pump where the script is activated has to be set to ID 5 by default to allow compatibility with other scripts.
Growth rate (doubling time calculation) based on OD680 while diluting according to OD720
turbidostatODType: 720
regressionODType: 680
Growth characterization uder different temperatures
controlledParameter: "temperature"
controlledParameterSteps: [ 28, 32, 34, 30, 26, 22 ]
Growth characterization under different lights
controlledParameter: "lights"
controlledParameterSteps: [[ 1100, 25 ], [ 440, 25 ], [ 55, 25 ]]
The lights setting has to be always in pairs, i.e. for each light channel the value has to be specified. Please note the double brackets at the begining and the end of values list
- O2-PIcurveMeasurement
Measurement of O2 evolution/respiration synchronized with turbidostat dilutions
turbidostatSynchronization: true
growthStabilitySynchronization: true
lightStepMultiplierValues: [ 1 ]
Here it’s necessary to run PP-GrowthOptimizer script with enabled growth statistics
growthStatistics: true
Measurement of O2 evolution/respiration synchronized with turbidostat dilutions and when the culture gets stable
turbidostatSynchronization: true
lightStepMultiplierValues: [ 1 ]
Measurement O2 evolution/respiration in triplicate
lightStepMultiplierValues: [ 1, 1, 1 ]
Measurement of PI-curve
lightStepMultiplierValues: [ 8, 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 ]
This setting enables measurement of PI curve in seven different light intensities defined as multiplier of actual actinic light intensity
