Experimental survival rates of communities in different culture areas. The dots with different colors represent the average survival rates of the nutritional bacteria in chips with different culture area side lengths (400, 800, and 1600 μm) after 20 h of culturing. The x-axis boundaries of the superimposed box occur at OD600 values of 0.5–1, 1–2, 2–4, 4–8, 8–16, and 16–32. The number of biologically independent samples in each group is 0, 5, 6, 14, 13, 8 (in the 400-μm chips), 0, 3, 3, 9, 22, 12 (in the 800-μm chips), 15, 11, 15, 7, 0, 0 (in the 1600-μm chips). The x-coordinate of each box is the average of the x-coordinate of the samples it contains. The grayish and light blue rectangular areas mark the critical density range of the communities grown in the 1600 and 800 μm chips
