Stress-induced metabolic exchanges between complementary bacterial types underly a dynamic mechanism of inter-species stress resistance
Abstract Metabolic cross-feeding plays vital roles in promoting ecological diversity. While some microbes depend on exchanges of essential nutrients for growth, the forces driving the extensive cross-feeding needed to support the coexistence of free-living microbes are poorly understood. Here we cha...
