From: Spatial coordination in a mutually beneficial bacterial community enhances its antibiotic resistance
Model and simulation results of the bacterial community. a Interaction of two bacterial strains and the surrounding chemicals. The dashed line shows the boundary between the community and the environment. b Simulation results of the survival rates of the nutritional bacteria or c the mutualistic community with different initial bacterial densities. d–f Temporal simulation results of the spatial distribution, survival rate distribution, and growth rates of the nutritional bacteria and the total bacterial community. The colors of the dots shown in d were derived from the N/R ratio at the time points
