Title: Switching-time bioprocess control with pulse-width-modulated optogenetics

Abstract:
arXiv:2511.22893v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Biotechnology can benefit from dynamic control to improve production efficiency. In this context, optogenetics enables modulation of gene expression using light as an external input, allowing fine-tuning of protein levels to unlock dynamic metabolic control and regulation of cell growth. Optogenetic systems can be actuated by light intensity. However, relying solely on intensity-driven control (i.e., signal amplitude) may fail to properly
