Elucidation of design principle for environmental adaptation in metabolic networks
Living organisms produce compounds of many types via their metabolisms, which adaptively shape-shift
with changing environment in long evolutionary history. Elucidation of design principle for metabolite
diversity and metabolic pathway is important to understand adaptive evolution and to control life
phenomena. I will propose mathematical models describing metabolic design principles from a viewpoint
of environmental adaptation, and attempt an application to trenchant designs of effective microorganisms.
