Ecologists at Osnabrück University identify a new rule on how bacterial communities form
The fact that different bacterial strains interact with each other and exchange substances is essential, for example, in maintaining our healthy intestinal flora. But how do bacteria choose their interaction partners? The research group of ecologist Prof. Dr. Christian Kost at Osnabrück University has now investigated this question using the example of amino acids, which are exchanged between two bacterial strains. Together with colleagues from Kiel University, the study was published in the journal Current Biology.
