Deciphering fitness trade-offs in metabolite exchange at the origin of a bacterial cross-feeding community
Dongxuan Zhu, Samraat S. Pawar
The paper uses computational models to show that optimal metabolite exchange intensities in bacterial cross-feeding communities depend on glucose availability and shared metabolite access, enhancing community fitness.
