Cell Growth Model with Stochastic Gene Expression Helps Understand the Growth Advantage of Metabolic Exchange and Auxotrophy

Cooperative behaviors are highly prevalent in the wild, but their evolution is not understood. Metabolic flux models can demonstrate the viability of metabolic exchange as cooperative interactions, but steady-state growth models cannot explain why cooperators grow faster.
