Microbiome function predicts amphibian chytridiomycosis disease dynamics
10 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) threatens amphibian biodiversity and ecosystem stability worldwide. Amphibian skin microbial community structure has been linked to the clinical outcome of Bd infections, yet its overall functional importance is poorly understood. METHODS: Microbiome taxonomic and functional profiles were assessed using high-throughput bacterial 16S rRNA and...
