A frog’s first line of defense might be living right on its skin 🐸

Penn State researchers found that naturally occurring bacteria on frogs’ skin can act like protective “armor,” helping defend them against a deadly fungal disease and improve their chances of survival.🗞️

By studying the relationship between frogs, their skin microbiomes, and disease, researchers are gaining a better understanding of why some frogs may be more resistant to infection than others.

The findings could also provide new insight into how beneficial microbes support wildlife health and inform future amphibian conservation efforts.

Congratulations to Melissa Gonte on receiving a scholarship from The Copper Club for her academic excellence, leadership, and research focused on developing more sustainable methods for copper extraction ⭐

Her research focuses on sustainable copper extraction, specifically on the surface dynamics of chalcopyrite — the world’s most abundant copper ore — in organic lixiviant systems, the liquid solutions used to dissolve and extract minerals.🔬

Melissa is a doctoral student in Penn State’s John and Willie Leone Family Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering (EME).
