Definition

material entity with a nutrient feed role

Semi-Formal Definition:

every instance of β€˜nutrient feed’ is defined as exactly an instance of β€˜material entity’ that β€˜has role’ some β€˜nutrient feed role’

Explanatory Notes

See the expanded definition under the corresponding role class. The term is formalized here as a defined class by referring to its corresponding role class and exists primarily for ontological modeling and implementation convenience.

Examples

  • concentrated glucose feed pumped to maintain glucose above a target setpoint; galactose feed added to modulate glycosylation; feed solution containing glucose, amino acids, vitamins, trace metals, and lipids added during cultivation to support high cell density and balanced metabolism
