Environmental and ecological controls of the spatial distribution of microbial populations in aggregates
Fig 2
Spatial distribution of microbial populations at different substrates concentrations.
(A) Aggregate pictures captured after 8 d of simulation considering neutralism, competition and commensalism with [S]T = 100 mM. (B) Aggregate pictures captured at 10 d of simulation considering neutralism, competition and commensalism with [S]T = 10 mM. (C) Aggregate pictures captured at 15 d of simulation considering neutralism, competition and commensalism with [S]T = 1 mM. None of the simulations are in steady state yet. Black solid line on bottom-right of aggregates represent the scale bar. Substrate profiles on the transverse plane of aggregates have been included on S2 Fig.
