A novel nutritional predictor links microbial fastidiousness with lowered ubiquity, growth rate, and cooperativeness.
Understanding microbial nutritional requirements is a key challenge in microbiology. Here we leverage the recent availability of thousands of automatically generated genome-scale metabolic models to develop a predictor of microbial minimal medium requirements, which we apply to thousands of species...
