FIG 4.

Carbon assimilation by individual L. ochracea cells. A box plot with a violin plot overlay is shown, with the total attomoles C cell⁻¹ assimilated for individual L. ochracea cells that either had been incubated for 42.75 h in 1 mM labeled (10%) bicarbonate (labeled, incubated) or had not been incubated and fixed for analysis (unlabeled, unincubated). Uptake was gathered for individual cells using nanoSIMS analysis and is described in Text S1 in the supplemental material. Samples had been incubated for 42.75 h with 1 mM labeled (10%) bicarbonate. The layered box plot shows the bulk of the data and the median (horizontal line), and the violin plot overlay shows the density/histogram distribution of the data per group and the mean (diamond) per group.
