Abstract

Microbial ecosystems are characterized by cooperative interactions among species, where changes in the population of one species can affect the others in positive and negative ways. One important interaction is competition for a common essential nutrient, where the competitive exclusion principle, also known as Gause’s law, states
that there is no coexistence steady state. Microbial populations are also subject to this law, leading to diffculty in maintaining stable co-culture of desired strains.
