A feed-forward back-propagation neural network (FBN) was used as a tool for predicting the

growth dynamics of
the microalga Karlodinium veneficum in a culture medium with any specified concentrations
of the key nutrients.
A 3-layered FBN configuration of 27-25-1 nodes was used. This FBN satisfactorily
represented the nonlinear
interactions among all the nutrients of a culture medium containing up to 25 different
components. The FBN
model was trained using the growth dynamics data from more than 420 batch culture
experiments involving
different media compositions. The relative impact of individual nutrients, the initial cell
concentration and the
culture duration on growth profiles were determined through a systematic analysis of the
partitioning of the
FBN connection weights. Microelements and vitamins together had a higher relative impact
on growth compared
to the impact of the macronutrients. The trained FBN successfully predicted the cell
concentration dynamics in
cultures with previously untested initial conditions. The FBN proved to be an excellent tool
for predicting the
growth curves in the range of culture conditions that were relevant to this study
