Modeling microbial cross-feeding at intermediate scale portrays community dynamics and species coexistence.

Social interaction between microbes can be described at many levels of details: from the biochemistry of cell-cell interactions to the ecological dynamics of populations. Choosing an appropriate level to model microbial communities without losing generality remains a challenge. Here we show that mod...
