Microbial interactions and how to infer them!

Microbial interactions and how to infer them!

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”.
