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.
The reading states that there are three possible solutions, proposed by conservationists, which can help golden frogs from infection of fungus. The lecture, however, finds the idea dubious and casts doubt on the reasons proposed by the reading passage.
The author argues that by using a certain type of bacteria which settles on the skin of frogs, it can be good option to preserve frog from infection. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that, although the chemical which are released by bacterium can protect frogs from fungus, it is temporary and bacterium will not continue to produce that chemicals, which reults in stopping the protection.
Furthermore, the reading passage holds the view that reproducing frogs in captivity and then realising them into habitats can increase the number of healthy frogs in their population. On the contrary, the professor underlines the fact that, these frogs will not going to stay healthty, because they may contact with other wild animals that are infected by the fungus, as a result, they can get infected in this situation and this method cannot be practical to survive them.
Finally, the reading states that frogs have an intrinsic ability by which, in the case of infection, they increase their body temperature and reduce the fungus growth speed. In contrast, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that the procedure of increasing temperature needs a large amount of energy which the frog has to provide. In consequence, providing an inordinate amount of energy makes frogs weak, so they are more likely to get ill and be infected by fungus.
