Coexistence of competing metabolic pathways in well-mixed populations [PDF]

Phys. Rev. E 93, 052401 (2016), 2016
Understanding why strains with different metabolic pathways that compete for a single limiting resource coexist is a challenging issue within a theoretical perspective. Previous investigations rely on mechanisms such as group or spatial structuring to achieve a stable coexistence between competing metabolic strategies.
