Fitness and productivity increase with ecotypic diversity among <i>E. coli</i> evolved in a simple, constant environment

2019-06-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Community productivity often correlates with diversity. In the microbial world this phenomenon can sometimes be explained by highly-specific metabolic interactions that include cross-feeding and syntrophy. Such interactions help account for the astonishing variety of microbial life, and drive many of the biogeochemical cycles without which life as we know it could not exist. While it is difficul...
