Chemotactic preferences govern competition and pattern formation in simulated two-strain microbial communities
Substrate competition is a common mode of microbial interaction in natural environments. While growth properties play an important and well-studied role in competition, we here focus on the influence of motility. In a simulated two-strain community populating a homogeneous two-dimensional environmen...
