Figure 5.

Survival of toads treated with Janthinobacterium lividum (J. lividum) prior to exposure to Bd (J. lividum plus Bd, n = 21, blue), toads exposed to Bd only (n = 10, red), toads exposed to J. liv only (n = 10), and controls exposed to a sterile sham treatment (n = 5), combined as green. J. lividum treated toads plus Bd experienced a 40 per cent increase in survival compared to the Bd-only treated toads (Mantel-Cox, χ² 6.021, p = 0.0141). No mortality was observed for control toads or toads treated with J. lividum only. (Online version in colour.)
