Emergent metabolic cooperation in communities of microbes that maximise growth rate by optimal protein expression
Many microbial communities involve metabolic exchanges between their members. We present a mathematical modelling formalism for studying the adaptation of metabolic strategies by microbes to external metabolites produced by themselves and their community partners. Each microbial species is assumed to maximise its growth rate by optimal allocation of finite biosynthetic resources for protein…
