Optimization to the Phellinus experimental environment based on classification forecasting method.

Abstract

Phellinus is a kind of fungus and known as one of the elemental components in drugs to avoid cancer. With the purpose of finding optimized culture conditions for Phellinus production in the lab, plenty of experiments focusing on single factor were operated and large scale of experimental data was generated. In previous work, we used regression analysis and GA Gene-set based Genetic Algorithm (GA) to predict the production, but the data we used depended on experimental experience and only little part of the data was used. In this work we use the values of parameters involved in culture conditions, including inoculum size, PH value, initial liquid volume, temperature, seed age, fermentation time and rotation speed, to establish a high yield and a low yield classification model. Subsequently, a prediction model of BP neural network is established for high yield data set. GA is used to find the best culture conditions. The forecast accuracy rate more than 90% and the yield we got have a slight increase than the real yield.
