主 题:community structure mathematical model metabolic division of labor substrate synthetic microbial consortium
摘 要:Metabolic division of labor(MDOL)represents a widespread natural phenomenon,whereby a complex metabolic pathway is shared between different strains within a community in a mutually beneficial ***,little is known about how the composition of such a microbial community is *** hypothesized that when degradation of an organic compound is carried out via MDOL,the concentration and toxicity of the substrate modulate the benefit allocation between the two microbial populations,thus affecting the structure of this *** tested this hypothesis by combining modeling with experiments using a synthetic *** modeling analysis suggests that the proportion of the population executing the first metabolic step can be simply estimated by Monod-like formulas governed by substrate concentration and *** model and the proposed formula were able to quantitatively predict the structure of our synthetic *** analysis demonstrates that our rule is also applicable in estimating community structures in spatially structured ***,our work clearly demonstrates that the structure of MDOL communities can be quantitatively predicted using available information on environmental factors,thus providing novel insights into how to manage artificial microbial systems for the wide application of the bioindustry.
