Predicting microbial interactions with approaches based on flux balance analysis: an evaluation [PDF]
Background Given a genome-scale metabolic model (GEM) of a microorganism and criteria for optimization, flux balance analysis (FBA) predicts the optimal growth rate and its corresponding flux distribution for a specific medium.

Minimizing the number of optimizations for efficient community dynamic flux balance analysis. [PDF]
Dynamic flux balance analysis uses a quasi-steady state assumption to calculate an organism's metabolic activity at each time-step of a dynamic simulation, using the well-known technique of flux balance analysis.

Pangenome Flux Balance Analysis Toward Panphenomes [PDF]
AbstractStudies of the pangenome have been empowered by an exponentially increasing amount of strain-specific genome sequencing data. With this data deluge comes a need for new tools to contextualize, analyze, and interpret such a vast amount of information.

Dynamic flux balance analysis for synthetic microbial communities. [PDF]
Dynamic flux balance analysis (DFBA) is an extension of classical flux balance analysis that allows the dynamic effects of the extracellular environment on microbial metabolism to be predicted and optimised. Recently this computational framework has been extended to microbial communities for which the individual species are known and genome‐scale ...
