Adaptation of metabolite leakiness leads to symbiotic chemical exchange and to a resilient microbial ecosystem.
Microbial communities display remarkable diversity, facilitated by the secretion of chemicals that can create new niches. However, it is unclear why cells often secrete even essential metabolites after evolution. Based on theoretical results indicating that cells can enhance their own growth rate by...
