Figure 1.
Species richness (number of different bacterial morphotypes isolated from each individual) of the culturable bacterial community associated with the skin of Agalychnis callidryas fed a carotenoid-enriched and carotenoid-free diet.
Error bars show ±1 S.E.M. An *indicates a significant difference.
Figure 2.
Average bacterial abundance (number of colony forming units (CFUs) isolated from each individual) of the culturable bacterial community associated with the skin of Agalychnis callidryas fed on a carotenoid-enriched and carotenoid-free diet.
Error bars show ±1 S.E.M. An *indicates a significant difference.
Figure 3.
Abundance of each bacterial morphotype (number of colony forming units (CFUs) isolated from each individual) isolated from the skin of Agalychnis callidryas fed on a carotenoid-enriched and carotenoid-free diet.
Morphotype identities are indicated by GenBank accession number; see Table 1 for details. Error bars show ±1 S.E.M.
