Fig. 6. Lotka–Volterra model fitting of co-culture growth dynamics.

A Schematic of the major model parameters, x_i refers to species, μ_i to species growth rate and M_ij to species interactions. B Fitted growth curves for the labelled mono- and co-cultures (circles give mean experimental value, dashed lines give the median simulated timecourse and shaded regions the 95% credible region). C The fitted interaction term (M₂₁ ⋅ f(x₁, k_s)) against the estimated OD for the given strains, using the median of the posterior distribution. Source data are provided as a source data file.
