The utilization of mixed consortia or mixed culture has become a current research trend of
applied microbiology, bioprocess engineering and biotechnology. The constituent …

The comprehension of the underlying mechanisms of the interactions within microbial
communities represents a major challenge to be faced to control their outcome. Joint efforts …

We theoretically study the dynamics of two interacting microbial species in the chemostat.
These species are competitors for a common resource, as well as mutualists due to cross …

Social information obtained from heterospecifics can enhance individual fitness by reducing
environmental uncertainty, making it an important driver of mixed‐species grouping …

In microbial ecosystems, species not only compete for common resources but may also
display mutualistic interactions as a result from metabolic cross-feeding. Such mutualism …

We hypothesized congruence in the spatial structure of abundance data sampled across
multiple scales for an ecological guild of consumers that exploit similar nutritional and …

This study elucidates the interspecific interactions between competing unicellular predators
in an intraguild predation system. The organisms studied were two microzooplankton (MZP) …

Mutualist interactions are thought to be ubiquitous, spanning all levels of biological
organisation, and involving most species on Earth. However, in contrast to population …

A simple model of obligate mutualist populations is presented in an extended consumer-
resource (ECR) framework to resolve some of the deficiencies of traditional models. Varying …

This paper deals with a predator-prey model and a modified version consisting of a resource-
consumer with two consumer species. We analyze the stability of equilibria and for the …
