Higher Temperatures Generically Favor Slower-Growing Bacterial Species in Multispecies Communities

1 - Growth rates of the 13 bacterial strains measured at multiple temperatures. Rates are per hour. <br>2 - Ratkowsky model summary for the 13 species in the study. The measured growth rates at 30C are also included as the model does may not hold when the temperature is sufficiently close to the optimal temperature.<br>3 - Outcomes of the Aci1/Pan1 coculture started from 8 different initial species fractions at 3 different temperatures (Figure 1).<br>4 - Outcomes of the 38 bacterial cocultures presented in Figure 3. The outcomes are the percent of the equilibrium community comprised by the fast grower. F10 is the outcome where the fast grower started as 10% of the community, F90 is the outcome where the fast grower started as 90% of the community, and the three F50 columns are outcomes of the three replicates where the community was inoculated with a 50/50 split of fast and slow growers.<br>5 - Outcomes of the 4 trio experiments.
