  abstract     = {{<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We consider the problem of maximization of metabolite production in bacterial cells formulated as a dynamical optimal control problem (DOCP). According to Pontryagin’s maximum principle, optimal solutions are concatenations of singular and bang arcs and exhibit the chattering or <jats:italic>Fuller</jats:italic> phenomenon, which is problematic for applications. To avoid chattering, we introduce a reduced model which is still biologically relevant and retains the important structural features of the original problem. Using a combination of analytical and numerical methods, we show that the singular arc is dominant in the studied DOCPs and exhibits the <jats:italic>turnpike</jats:italic> property. This property is further used in order to design simple and realistic suboptimal control strategies.</jats:p>}},
