The paper shows glycogen-accumulating organisms use the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway for CO2 fixation to achieve metabolic parity with polyphosphate-accumulating organisms, leading to community shifts through stoichiometric advantages.

The paper introduces a simplified cFBA method to predict microbial community composition, growth rates, and metabolic interactions by reducing species metabolism to macrochemical equations.

The paper develops a theoretical framework to analyze microbial community dynamics by linking metabolic stoichiometry, growth rates, and biomass carrying capacity.

The paper develops a metabolomics workflow to measure temporal variations in nucleotide pools in EBPR biofilms, revealing dynamic changes in energy charge during metabolic processes.

This study shows that dual substrate uptake by 'Candidatus Accumulibacter' improves metabolic efficiency in EBPR by reducing ATP losses through optimized storage polymer use.
