Metabolic division of labor (MDOL) represents one of the most commonly occurring interactions within natural microbial communities. Specifically, in a variety of MDOL systems engaged in hydrocarbon degradation, a sequential degradation is performed by several members with final products that are necessary for the growth of each member. In these MDOL systems, each strain catalyzes one or more specific reactions of a multistep metabolic pathway, whose end products are then allocated among the participants.
