Metabolic Resource Allocation in Individual Microbes Determines Ecosystem Interactions and Spatial Dynamics

Metabolic Resource Allocation in Individual Microbes Determines Ecosystem Interactions and Spatial Dynamics

The interspecies exchange of metabolites plays a key role in the spatiotemporal dynamics of microbial communities. This raises the question of whether ecosystem-level behavior of structured communities can be predicted using genome-scale metabolic models for multiple organisms. We developed a modeli...
