Abstract
An integrated, genome-scale metabolic model was constructed to study phototroph-heterotroph interactions. The model recapitulates known metabolic cross-talks of a phototroph-heterotroph system, including mutualism and competition. This system displays oscillations in specific external simulated conditions. Stochastic fluctuations can lead to the extinction of bacteria from the co-culture, causing an explosion of phototrophic population.
