Elementary vectors reveal minimal interactions in microbial communities

This paper introduces a geometric framework to analyze microbial community interactions by computing elementary composition/exchange fluxes (ECXs) that represent distinct ecological interaction types.

The geometry of cooperation: decoding microbial interactions

The paper introduces a geometric framework to analyze microbial community metabolism, linking interaction types to the structure of metabolic spaces and identifying isotypic and anisotypic mutualism.

Does ribosome composition maximize growth rate? The role of RNA instability

The paper develops a mechanistic model to examine how ribosome composition affects growth rate, finding that RNA instability and protein protection influence optimal ribosome composition.

Elementary vectors and autocatalytic sets for computational models of cellular growth

This paper introduces elementary growth modes and vectors for next-generation metabolic models, providing an unbiased understanding of cellular growth and resource allocation without relying on fixed biomass composition.

Elementary growth modes/vectors and minimal autocatalytic sets for kinetic/constraint-based models of cellular growth
