Extended Data Figure 6: Insensitivity of cell activities to distance from nearest syntrophic partner for AD consortia.
From: Single cell activity reveals direct electron transfer in methanotrophic consortia

Plots displaying all ROIs analysed of a given type for consortia composed of ANME-2b or ANME-2c and Deltaproteobacteria. Normalized activity (Z-scores) were calculated within each aggregate to allow for comparisons between consortia with large differences in average cellular activity. a, Normalized activities of archaea (n = 765 cells) within AD consortia as a function of distance to nearest syntrophic partner. b, Normalized activities of bacteria (n = 658 cells) within AD consortia as a function of distance to nearest syntrophic partner. From this analysis, it appears that distance to nearest syntrophic partner does not account for a significant amount of the variation in cellular activity within a consortium. The R2 values for linear regressions on the plotted data are shown in each panel. Dashed lines illustrate the 95% confidence intervals in slopes and intercepts of the linear regressions.
