Martinez-Rabert, Eloi (author), van Amstel, Chiel (author), Smith, Cindy (author), Sloan, William T. (author), Gonzalez Cabaleiro, R. (author)In microbial communities, the ecological interactions between species of different populations are responsible for the spatial distributions observed in aggregates (granules, biofilms or flocs). To explore the underlying mechanisms that control these processes, we have developed a mathematical modelling framework able to describe, label and...journal article 2022
