Metabolic interactions shape emergent biofilm structures in a conceptual model of gut mucosal bacterial communities

Abstract excerpt

The gut microbiome plays a major role in human health; however, little is known about the structural arrangement of microbes and factors governing their distribution. In this work, we present an in silico agent-based model (ABM) to conceptually simulate the dynamics of gut mucosal bacterial communities. We explored how various types of metabolic interactions, including competition, neutralism, commensalism, and...
