Scholars & Salamanders
Junior biology majors Princess Flanders and Salvador Castillo have been getting up close and personal with salamanders, studying the microbes, or bacteria, found on their skin.

Just like humans, salamanders are born with certain bacteria on their skin. “Microbes are an important part of the immune system of these salamanders because they act to keep harmful bacteria out of their system,” says Zach Felix, associate professor of biology at Reinhardt.
