Microbial interactions and how to infer them!
in Blog on Thoughts
Just found out about the great paper of Aleksej Zelezniak et al. “Metabolic dependencies drive species co-occurrence in diverse microbial communities”.
As they authors claim “interspecies metabolic exchanges are widespread in natural communities, and such exchanges can provide group advantage under nutrient-poor conditions.””
Their results “highlight metabolic dependencies as a major driver of species co-occurrence”.
