In reality, an ecosystem will consist of many species of bacteria with different types of interactions occurring between different species.

Then, Denk-Lobnig translated her research into a science education article at the Science Journal for Kids and Teens, which inspired her to make these cute cartoon depictions of bacterial interactions.
