Predicting interspecies interactions is a key challenge in microbial ecology given that interactions shape the composition and functioning of microbial communities.

Here, we employ machine learning models to predict pairwise interactions between culturable bacteria based on their phylogeny, monoculture growth capabilities, and interactions with other species.
