Metabolic dissimilarity determines the establishment of cross-feeding interactions in bacteria

The exchange of metabolites among different bacterial genotypes is key for determining the structure and function of microbial communities. However, the factors that govern the establishment of these cross-feeding interactions remain poorly understood. While kin selection theory predicts that individuals should direct benefits preferentially to close relatives, the potential benefits resulting…
