Abundance is expressed as mean Z-score of per cell concentration in early bloom co-cultures (day 3), late bloom co-cultures (day 15), and axenic late bloom cultures (day 15 AX). Metabolites present in significantly different per cell concentrations are linked by brackets (T-test, p ≤ 0.05, n = 3); no statistical comparisons were made between day 3 and day 15 AX. Row A Endometabolites with significantly higher concentration in day 15 co-cultures compared to day 3 co-cultures; Row B Endometabolites with significantly higher concentration in day 3 co-cultures compared to day 15 co-cultures; Row C Endometabolites not significantly different between day 3 and day 15. Bold font highlights the metabolites accumulating to higher concentrations in 15 d co-cultures compared to 15 d axenic cultures. Plots are colored according to metabolite class. Error bars represent standard deviations. See Table S3 for metabolite intensity per cell.
