1. The file "microscale_variability_bins.fasta" is a FASTA file of the concatenated metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) used in this study. Credit: Rachel E. Szabo.

2. The folder "individual_particle_images_time_course" contains images of SYTO9-stained microbial communities attached to individual chitin particles, incubated separately and harvested at various time points over the course of 1 week (with timepoints indicated chronologically as "t<#>"). These images were used to generate Fig. 3c (with images from t13) and Fig. S8b (with all images over time). Credit: Rachel E. Szabo.

3. The folder "bulk_particle_images_24h" contains images of SYTO9-stained microbial communities attached to individual chitin particles, incubated in bulk at various particle and cell concentrations and harvested after 24 hours. These images were used to generate Fig. S11a. This folder also contains a file "README.txt" with image metadata. Credit: Julia A. Schwartzman. 

4. The folder "microscale_variability_models" contains the code for the mathematical models described in the text; this code was used to generate Figs. S16-S19. Credit: Jacopo Grilli.
