A novel bioaugmentation technique effectively increases the skin-associated microbial diversity of captive eastern hellbenders

Captive environments are maintained in hygienic ways that lack free-flowing microbes found in animals’ natural environments. As a result, captive animals often have depauperate host-associated microbial communities compared to conspecifics in the wild and may have increased disease susceptibility an...
