“…Mathematical modeling of biological systems has been successfully used for assessing the metabolism complexity of many organisms while providing logical and systematic methods for growth and product enhancement (Haag et al, 2004;Naderi et al, 2010;Lee, 2011, 2012;Ghorbaniaghdam et al, 2014). On the past two decades, many different models have been introduced for CHO cell lines to study growth (Naderi et al, 2010;Zamorano et al, 2010Zamorano et al, , 2013Ahn and Antoniewicz, 2011;Meshram et al, 2011;Nicolae et al, 2015), media composition (Ahn and Antoniewicz, 2011;Nolan and Lee, 2011;Hagrot et al, 2015;Nicolae et al, 2015), culture parameters (Nolan and Lee, 2011;Martínez et al, 2015), determination of key metabolites for by-product accumulations (Nolan and Lee, 2012;Martínez et al, 2015), and amino acid metabolism (Zamorano et al, 2010(Zamorano et al, , 2013Ahn and Antoniewicz, 2011;Hagrot et al, 2015;Rejc et al, 2017). Within them, the most used modeling approaches, are metabolic flux analysis (MFA) and Flux Balance Analysis (FBA), which are based on pseudo-steady state mass flux balances (Nolan and Lee, 2011).…”
