Control device, control method, computer program, and method for producing organic compound

A control method executed by a control device that performs control of a culture condition in production of an organic compound by a fermentation method,

• the control device executing processing a plurality of times to acquire culture data, to calculate, using the acquired culture data, a plurality of candidates for a culture condition set in advance, and a linear model set in advance that outputs a production amount of an organic compound at a future time, the production amount at the future time for each of the candidates, to determine an optimum candidate out of the candidates using the calculated production amount at the future time for each of the candidates and a target production amount of the organic compound at the future time set in advance, and to change the culture condition to the determined candidate, and
• the linear model and the target production amount being set for each time.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to cause a control device that performs control of a culture condition in production of an organic compound by a fermentation method to execute

• processing a plurality of times to acquire culture data, to calculate, using the acquired culture data, a plurality of candidates for a culture condition set in advance, and a linear model set in advance that outputs a production amount of an organic compound at a future time, the production amount at the future time for each of the candidates, to determine an optimum candidate out of the candidates using the calculated production amount at the future time for each of the candidates and a target production amount of the organic compound at the future time set in advance, and to change the culture condition to the determined candidate, and
