Synthetic microbial communities of heterotrophs and phototrophs facilitate sustainable growth

Successful application of microbial community for bioproduction relies on the selection of appropriate heterotroph and phototroph partners. Here, the authors construct community metabolic models to guide strain selection and experimentally validate metabolic exchanges that sustain the heterotrophs i...
