From: Nesting hoopoes cultivate in their uropygial gland the microbial symbionts with the highest antimicrobial capacity

Fig. 1

Antimicrobial activity of colonies isolated from general (TSA for mesophilic bacteria) and selective (KF for enterococci bacteria) cultures of samples collected from the uropygial gland skin (Skin) and secretion (Secr) of nestling (N), brooding (BF) or non-brooding female (NF) and male (M) hoopoes. Pooled values of nesting (nestlings and brooding females) and non-nesting (non-brooding females and males) hoopoes are also shown. Showed values are means ± 95% confidence intervals.
