Exchange of metabolic pathway intermediates as the origin for metabolite cross-feeding interactions in E. coli auxotrophic co-cultures

Yijing Cai, Maciek R. Antoniewicz

This study shows that histidinol exchange enables metabolite cross-feeding in E. coli auxotrophs under methionine limitation, supporting mutualistic interactions through pathway intermediate accumulation.
