Parametric studies of metabolic cooperativity in Escherichia coli colonies: Strain and geometric confinement effects.

Characterizing the complex spatial and temporal interactions among cells in a biological system (i.e. bacterial colony, microbiome, tissue, etc.) remains a challenge. Metabolic cooperativity in these systems can arise due to the subtle interplay between microenvironmental conditions and the cells�...
