Fig. 1: Imaging of K. petricola WT and pigment mutant biofilms.

Macroscopic photographs show the morphology of the fungal biofilms. Cryo-scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging show a close-up view of the biofilms and cell walls with EPS of single cells. Scale bar in macroscopic photographs = 5 mm; in SEM pictures = 20 µm and in TEM pictures = 500 nm.
