Extended Data Fig. 3

NanoSIMS comparison of uptake of 13C−bicarbonate a, and 15N−ammonium b, in individual cells (gray dots) from a single rock sample at each of AlvinellidRock (active vent deposit) and Mvent (inactive vent deposit) after 2 days of incubation. Box plots indicating the median, upper, and lower quartiles (but, appearing as lines due to mostly low activity/inactive cells) are overlaid in black. Numbers above the plots indicate the number of regions of interest (putative cells) analyzed, and asterisks indicate a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) using a two-sided, Mann-Whitney (MW) test with a Bonferroni correction for multiple hypotheses.
