Enhanced metabolic entanglement emerges during the evolution of an interkingdom microbial community

HIGHLIGHTS

  • What: The authors aim to experimentally reproduce the transition towards increased cooperation by evolving an interkingdom mutualistic consortium between auxotrophs of Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (MESCo).
  • Who: Giovanni Scarinci from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the research: Enhanced metabolic entanglement emerges during the evolution of an interkingdom microbial community, in the Journal: Microorganisms are typically part of communities that display a large taxonomic diversity and in which members are often linked through obligatory metabolite exchanges1-4. These interactions likely developed through a stepwise process, resulting in a gradual erosion of independence of the initially autonomous . . .
