Bacterial social interactions play crucial roles in various ecological, medical, and biotechnological contexts. However, predicting these from genome sequences is notoriously difficult. Here, we developed bioinformatic tools to predict whether secreted iron-scavenging siderophores stimulate or inhibit the growth of community members. Siderophores are chemically diverse can be stimulatory inhibitory depending on bacteria have lack corresponding uptake receptors. We focused 1928 representative Pseudomonas genomes an experimentally validated coevolution algorithm match encoded siderophore synthetases receptor groups. derived community-level iron interaction networks show that siderophore-mediated differ across habitats lifestyles. Specifically, dense sharing competition were observed among environmental nonpathogenic species, while small, fragmented occurred human-associated pathogenic species. Together, our sequence-to-ecology approach empowers analyses thousands bacterial strains offers opportunities for targeted intervention microbial communities.
