Changes in the growth of the community over time and space determined experimentally. a Intersection and division of the diagonal regions of the micrographs. The dashed-line box indicates the diagonal region that was intercepted for analysis. The area was divided into 26 small equidistant regions. Among these, region No. 1 is closest to the source, while region No. 26 is closest to the center. Scale bar: 100 μm. b Time-lapse micrograph of the diagonal region. c Spatial distribution of the survival rate of the two strains as a function of time. The green and red lines show the survival rates of the resistant and nutritional bacteria, respectively. Scale bar: 100 μm. d The growth rates of the nutritional bacteria and the total community as a function of time. The color of each dot was derived from the N/R ratio at the time point
