Fig. 4. The effect of preconditioning at 98% RH (relative humidity) on the levels of trehalose, glucose and glycerol in four strains of Panagrolaimus sp. classified as `poor desiccators'. Nematodes were exposed to 98% RH for various time periods (0–96 h) before carbohydrates were extracted. Carbohydrate levels are expressed as percentage dry mass. (A) Panagrolaimus sp. BW287; (B) P. detritophagus BSS8; (C) Panagrolaimus rigidus AF40; (D) Panagrolaimus sp. PS1732.
