A multi-objective constraint-based approach for modeling genome-scale microbial ecosystems

Day Model of the Hot Spring Mat Community.
The model comprises three guilds of microorganisms of the SYN, FAP, and SRB phenotypes. Organics acids produced by SYN may be utilized by FAP and SRB. FAP is capable of fixing carbon by anoxygenic photosynthesis. Under anoxygenic fermentation conditions, FAP is additionally capable of producing hydrogen, which, in turn, may be used by SRB.
