abstract: "<p>Data from individual-based simulations interacting spherocylindrical particles growing and dividing on a surface. We simulate a cross-feeding consortium of two cooperating species and a cheater species. We look at how the parameters of the interaction and the initial placement of the particles influence the final make-up of the colony. Together with experimental data, these simulation data show that it is the time it takes for two cooperators to make contact for the first time that determines cooperator success.&nbsp;</p>"
