Field dynamics

On this page, heatmaps are displayed to show the concentrations of metabolites on the grid. Also information regarding to the lineage, metabolic type, production, death rate, crossfeeding and cell-size are displayed.

Hover over the images to show a zoombox. Press 't' to hide/show the zoombox.

About the crossfeeding patterns:
Exploitiving: when an individual imports and consumes a molecule, exported by another cell in the same neighborhood (strict = the cell itself does not export the molecule class)
Providing: when an individual produces and exports a molecule class, imported by another cell in the same neighborhood. (strict = the cell itself does not consume the molecule class)
Crossfeeding neighborhoods: location with one or more exploiting-providing interaction(s)
Exploitive crossfeeding location with one or more exploiting-providing interaction(s), where exploiting is strict.
Strict crossfeeding location with one or more exploiting-providing interaction(s), where both exploiting and providing is strict.

Higher rates of crossfeeding happen when more than one molecule falls into the catagories above.
