Resource Availability Modulates the Cooperative and Competitive Nature of a Microbial Cross-Feeding Mutualism
2016
PLoS Biology
Our results provide a general framework for how mutualisms may transition between qualitatively different regimes of interaction in response to changes in nutrient availability in the environment. ...
In this study, we varied nutrient availability to examine how changing environments can affect the interaction between two cross-feeding yeast strains. ...

by interactions between a small set of rare events, iii) these interactions are not necessarily definable by specific values (or value ranges) of a given group of variables, but rather, by the deviations ...
Interactions among variables are represented by a relational graph structure, which relies on qualitative abstractions to overcome non-uniform sampling and to capture the semantics of the interactions ...
An interpretation I is a subgraph containing a subset of the interactions in a population of qualitative interaction graphs G. There are three parameters in the model: λ1 −λ3. ...
