  1. The samples in the bag were ultramicrotomed into 90-nm-thick sections by Reichert Ultracut-N (Reichert-Jung, Vienna, Austria) at Ibaraki University for TEM. Each of the samples was taken out from the bag, just prior to ultramicrotomy, and exposure to the air was shorter than 1 h. Details of the ultramicrotomy were presented in Noguchi et al. (2014).
