Microcystin-leucine arginine induces skin barrier damage and reduces resistance to pathogenic bacteria in Lithobates catesbeianus tadpoles
2 May 2022
Abstract excerpt
Despite the importance of the skin mucosal barrier and commensal microbiota for the health of amphibians, the potential of environmental contaminants to disrupt the skin mucosal barrier and microbiota have rarely been studied in toxicology. In this study, tadpoles (Lithobates catesbeianus) were exposed to 0, 0.5, and 2 μg/L of microcystin-leucine arginine (MC-LR) for 30 days to explore the impacts of...
