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.
Both the reading passage and the lecturer discuss the ways that the golden frogs can preserve themselfe from fungus. while the reading passage brings three redemies to save the frogs from the fungus, the lecturer finds these solutions ineffective and brings up some evidence to refute them.
First, the writer asserts a specific bactreial can protect the frogs. In this regard, scientistsn can introduce this bactrial to the skin of golden frogs. On the other hand, the professor believes that this solution not lasting for long time and has some possetive effects for a while. She says that after a while this bacteria stop to produce chemical substances to kill the fungus, so it's not permanent redemy.
Second, the author declares that researchers can introduce breeding golden frogs to a new habitats to replenish in new place. In contrast, the lecturer states that they are safe in new environment. The fungus can grow in the skin of wild animals that live in new place, and in the following can affect golden frogs again.
Finally, the writer acclaim that golden frogs have a natural defence to overcome the fungus. They can increase their body tempretaure to slow down fungus' growing. If all the golden frogs exert this defense, they can overcome fungus. Conversly, the lecturer says that this defensive solution need a lot of energy. By this redemy, golden frogs will become weak and ill. So it's not srong
