Cooperator–cheater dynamics in TrEc consortia. (A) Stability analysis of the TrEc model. Equilibrium population compositions Inline graphic were calculated over a range of plausible values for Inline graphic and Inline graphic. (B) Sample numerical solutions for Inline graphic and Inline graphic over a range of Inline graphic. (C) Experimentally observed dynamics for RUTC30/K12 bicultures at pH 5.3 Inline graphic. Cultures were inoculated with high or low Inline graphic (red or green points/lines, respectively) in duplicate (circles/squares). Data are shown for each culture, and error bars are ±SD for n = 2 technical replicates. (D) RUTC30/NV3 bicultures at pH 6.0 Inline graphic. (E) RUTC30/K12 bicultures at pH 6.0 Inline graphic.
