Abstract
  • Interspecific microbial interactions are important for community structure, function and evolution, but it is not fully understood how interactions among bacterial species are influenced by some types of abiotic environmental variation, such as exposure to antibiotics. We tested for the effect of an antibiotic, tetracycline, on interspecific interactions in vitro among four species of aquatic bacteria isolated from European water bodies. Interactions among species in experimental microcosms containing artificial lake water (ALW) supplemented with glucose were largely competitive, as detected by comparing mixed cultures to pure cultures of their constituent species. Sublethal concentrations of tetracycline changed the relative competitive abilities of different species and revealed considerable variation in antibiotic sensitivity, but did not reduce the average strength of competition. Interspecific interactions at a given concentration were largely predictable from growth in pure cultures and indirect interactions with other species. These results suggest that antibiotics such as tetracycline may have important consequences for interactions among bacterial species, but in our experiments this was because species varied in their capacities for growth in the presence of tetracycline, rather than reduced competition at increasing tetracycline concentrations.
