Extended Data Figure 8

Plots displaying all ROIs analysed for a given population. Normalized activities (Z-scores) were taken within each consortium to allow for comparisons between aggregates with large differences in average cellular activity. a, Normalized activities of archaea within AS aggregates (n = 1,967 cells) as a function of distance to aggregate surface (that is, the external environment). b, Normalized activities of bacteria (n = 2,063 cells) within AS aggregates as a function of distance to aggregate surface. c, Normalized activities of archaea (n = 765 cells) within AD aggregates as a function of distance to aggregate surface. d, Normalized activities of bacteria (n = 658 cells) within AD aggregates as a function of distance to aggregate surface. From this analysis, the distance to the surface of the aggregate does not appear to explain a significant amount of the variation in cellular activity within each 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.
