Superiority of cocoons with a high fibroin content for the formation of fibroin sponges. (A) Comparison of the appearance of sponges of degummed w1-pnd and non-degummed Ser1-P1A cocoons formed with 1% or 3% (v/v) methanol. (B) Transparency analysis of sponges prepared from the Ser1-P1A269 cocoon and degummed w1-pnd by using 1% and 3% (v/v) methanol. Transparency of the sponges was measured using computer-assisted image analysis software. Data are the means ± SD of relative intensity; n = three independent samples. ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001 (one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s test).
