Dynamic, Unconstrained Optimization of Secreted Enzyme Production in Fed‐Batch Fermentation Using Reinforcement Learning

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reinforcement learning (RL) has been used to control a wide range of dynamic processes, especially ones that are too complex to model well or have stochastic environmental perturbations. Fed‐batch fermentations are subject to changes in starting cell growth rates and process variations that can affect cell growth and secreted target production.
