Extended Data Fig. 6

The top illustration demonstrates the water spotting process. Photographs of dried melanated BC from both K. rhaeticus strains, with and without glycerol treatment are shown at three time points: before water spotting, immediately after water spotting and 16 hours after water spotting. Images are representative of 3 water spotting tests for each pellicle and treatment.
