Mechanistic aspects of cyanobacteria clock and metabolism have been analyzed in considerable detail during recent decades, but only limited knowledge is available about particular link(s) between the clock and controlled metabolic processes. This chapter describes a case study in which a mechanistic model of a circadian oscillator is coupled with a model of central carbonrnitrogen metabolism and formal methods based on temporal logic and bifurcation analysis are applied to examine the response of the metabolic part of the combined model to autonomous clock oscillations. The analysis identifies a set of parametric groups that, when applied to the in silico system, lead either to an optimal configuration of metabolic pathways for most efficient rhythmic function of the metabolism or to (oscillatory) system death. Under controlled conditions in monitored environments, such as cultivation in photobioreactors, the knowledge can be used for optimal regulation of production capacity that would reflect dynamic constraints of real-world systems.
