Survival of the weakest in non-transitive asymmetric interactions among strains of E. coli

The maintenance of ecological diversity depends on the strength and direction of competitive interactions, but these interactions are difficult to study in microbial communities. Here the authors use engineered E. coli strains to show that competitively weak strains can persist when pairwise interac...

Survival of the weakest in non-transitive asymmetric interactions among strains of E. coli
description The maintenance of ecological diversity depends on the strength and direction of competitive interactions, but these interactions are difficult to study in microbial communities. Here the authors use engineered E. coli strains to show that competitively weak strains can persist when pairwise interactions are asymmetrical.
