摘要: Remarkable technological advances have revealed ever more properties and behaviours of individual microorganisms, but the novel data generated by these techniques not yet been fully exploited. In this Opinion article, we explain how individual-based models (IBMs) can be constructed based on findings such they help to explore competitive cooperative microbial interactions. Furthermore, describe IBMs provided insights into self-organized spatial patterns from biofilms oceans world, phage-CRISPR dynamics other emergent phenomena. Finally, discuss combining observations with advance our understanding at both population levels, leading new approach ecology (μIBE).
