The individual cells interact via the flux of metabolites, which are produced in all cells and may permeate through the cell membranes (1). Two specific cases are examined: in Model I the coupling is via the product of the autocatalytic reaction (species Y), and in Model II the coupling is via the substrate of the autocatalytic reaction (species X).
