Cooperation, Competition, and Coalitions in Enzyme-Producing Microbes: Social Evolution and Nutrient Depolymerization Rates

Extracellular enzymes represent a public good for microbial communities, as they break down complex molecules into simple molecules that microbes can take up. These communities are vulnerable to cheating by microbes that do not produce enzymes, but benefit from those produced by others. However, ext...
