Growth rates and relative abundance

[dinesh-kumar-k-b]

In a 3-member community ABC, where we want to decrease the growth of A by adding a probiotic species, what should be the relative abundance of the probiotic species to be added?

As relative abundance is an input parameter in MICOM, is decreased growth of A independent of its relative abundance?

Thanks in advance.

It should be the expected steady state abundance of the organism. So the expected relative abundance during exponential growth.
