Bioactive exometabolites drive maintenance competition in simple bacterial communities

ABSTRACTDuring prolonged resource limitation, bacterial cells can persist in metabolically active states of non-growth. These maintenance periods, such as those experienced in stationary phase, can include upregulation of secondary metabolism and release of exometabolites into the local environment....
