Former Ph.D. student Leyla Davis (University of Zurich) and Doug Woodhams collect samples for project reported in Environmental Microbiology
We found that the response of tadpoles to microbial therapy depended on the initial microbial community structure. Addition of Flavobacterium and Pseudomonas acted to increase survival of infected tadpoles.
