The golden frog is a small bright-yellow amphibian that lives in and around mountain streams in Panama The species is severely endangered because of a fungus that infects the frog through its skin and inhibits the frog's critical life functions, such as breathing. Conservationists have proposed a few solutions to the golden frog's fungus problem.
Bacterial Protection
First, scientists have identified a natural enemy of the fungus: a type of bacterium. This bacterium produces a chemical that kills fungal cells. Scientists think that they may be able to introduce colonies of this bacterium to the skin of golden frogs. The bacterial colonies would then protect the frogs against the fungus infection
Breeding Frogs in Captivity
Second, researchers are considering the possibility of breeding golden frogs in captivity and then releasing them in the wild to replenish wild populations The golden frog can develop disease-free in captivity; where it is isolated from the fungus When golden frogs bred in captivity are released in habitats where wild golden frogs have died out, the frogs bred in captivity will give rise to a healthy, fungus-free population.
A Natural Defense
Third, it is possible that golden frogs w川 overcome the threat posed by the fungus without human intervention. Some golden frogs have what seems to be a natural defense against the fungus. When infected, they increase their body temperature, which slows down the growth of the fungus If this ability to resist the fungal infection spreads among the golden frog population as a whole, the frog population is likely to overcome the crisis and start increasing again.
According to the given sets of materials, the author and the lecturer discuss possible solutions to save golden frogs from a fungal disease. The author of the reading states three ways to help golden frogs to survive. However, the lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article and presents a number of counterarguments in its rejection.
First of all, the author contends using bacterium-producing chemicals that kill these fungal cells, to save the frogs. On the other hand, the lecturer refutes this idea, asserting that these bacteria reveal these chemicals during colonization on the frog's skin and not after that. She continues that although these bacteriums' produced chemicals can kill the fungus, they are temporary Therefore, this is temporary and not effective.
Secondly, the reading states that researchers may keep a breed of these golden frogs in captivity and release them after the fungus is gone. That being said, the lecturer repudiates this discourse, mentioning that some other animals living in the habitat may carry the disease and newly protected golden frogs can get sick again. Moreover, she says that this disease is not leaving the habitat.
Finally, the author and the professor are at odds with another point. The author declares that the golden frog's natural defense system might overcome the fungus by heating up leading to slowing down the fungus's growth. Yet again, the professor rebuts this claim, explaining that this body temperature increase is high energy-consuming for golden frogs. Consequently, golden frogs may become weak. Furthermore, weak golden frogs are prone to get different illnesses and die as a subsequent of it.
