Drying survival of untreated (control), trehalose-treated (tre. treat., and hypotonic + trehalose-treated (hyp. + tre. treat) blastospores of M. brunneum, with the residual trehalose solution from the treatments either removed and exchanged for 0.9% NaCl or not. Lowercase letters indicate statistically significant differences according to a general linear model (n = 5, p < 0.05). Estimated differences of the logit model, standard errors and exact p-values against all treatments are given in the Supplementary Materials 4. The data was normalised to the viability of the respective treatment before drying
